Hi,

I have just received my Homey and trying to set it up but it dosn’t seem to have Aeotec Generation 1 & 2 Devices in the database, so it won’t add my micro switches or micro dimmers that I have installed.

Any help would be great.

Regards

Have you installed the Aeotec app from the App store?

Hi Adrian,

Yes I have installed the app, it seem that only the new models are listed ie gen 5/6.

Older aeotec devices in all my lights.

Hi Phate,

Ahhh that’s sucks.

Eventually they added as generic devices. Basic on off. But that’s all I need from light switches. Not reporting power tho so still may need to report it.

From support.

Now what.? 😬

I’m liking the homey. But. Roughly $700 for new light modules.

Crap 🙁
