Wellicht is die zipato app over te zetten? Of aan te passen?

Ik woon in Amsterdam.  
Ik was degene die je ook al had gevraagd over de benext remotes.

Ik heb wel ns contact gehad met benext zelf, op kantoor geweest bij hen, dus wellicht kunnen we hun nog ns contacten voor meer info. Zijn vriendelijke gasten.

Je mag t wel ff lenen, wil het uiteindelijk wel terug, maar in principe ben ik overgestapt van de benext hub naar homey. Dus ik heb er pas wat aan als t ook okay werkt 🙂

Tag heb ik volgens mij ook, maar dan moet ik wel ff zoeken.

-eng-  
Maybe the zipato app can be merged partially? Or just the code lifted?

I’m in Amsterdam and was the one asking about supporting the benext remotes.

I’ve had some contact with benext in the past, visited their office. Maybe they could be of assistance. They’re cool dudes.

Borrowing isnt an issue, though i would like it back.  
But i’ve migrated from yhe benext to homey, so it’s only needed back once i can actually use it.

I have the tag too somewhere, but i’d need to look for it.

You have to clone in local the zipato app, modify the id of reader with Benext values and install the app via CLI

Hi Davide, did you also added tags? If yes, how did you do that? I have a Benext v1 tagreader but simply installed it as a Zipato tagreader. That seems to be working fine. But I don’t see how I can add tags…

you can do the job in the app settings…after installing the reader you’ll find it in settings of zipato app.

Because the thermostat website is taken offline and therefore also the API my thermostat stopped working, I still had my old benext heating control module and I installed that today.

I wired it up but when i try too change the temperature via Homey i get an error:

![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/b/7ba26c04e924bf71ad51ea266baeddaa44e44c31.png)

It seem the device itself is connected, i tested it and it can be reached.

What do I wrong here?

Anybody has experience with the molite movement detection sensor of benext?  
I can pair it to homey, but I only get temperature data… no motion alarms, no lux measurements… what to do?

Has the development halted? Or is there a way to get the non functioning stuff (like the thermostat dongle) working correctly?

No, not perse, but benext doesn’t produce new products afaik.

Is this a not-supported device?

Depends on your definition of non-supported.

But there are loads of benext devices that can still be integrated.

and some of the stuff that is in the benext app don’t work or dont work fully.

this is the reason why i asked.
