Hello,
We also have two Deluxe candles in use and everything works great. We just had to tinker a bit with the mods using Flow to check whether the candle is already on or off before switching it on.
Now we are considering purchasing an IR string of lights, but the question is whether it is possible to integrate this into the app.
Hi Lars,
Interesting point — I’ll have a look to see if there’s anything that can be improved.
Update 13/02: I checked but it seems to be working as expected. What was the difficulty with getting the current status?
The second item is a bit trickier, because you really need both the address and the command codes. Since Homey no longer has an IR receiver, it’s difficult to determine which commands are being used. Personally, I use a Flipper to read out the IR codes, but without additional hardware this is quite hard to do with just a Homey.
Update 13/02: I purchased the similar looking remote and will add this to the new version. This is the item I ordered: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005010406872342.html. Also it has a full overlap with the commands of the HEMA remote.
You could try using the test remote device in the app to see if you can discover the correct commands, but depending on luck this may take a while. So far, for most (though not all) remotes the address appears to be 0x00, and only the command needs to be figured out — which still leaves 256 possible options.
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply—I didn’t notice the update to the post.
I had already tried reading the remote control using a Raspberry Pi, but unfortunately, I wasn’t successful.
I just tested the remote control you added, and all the buttons work just like the original.
Thank you so much for the great work.
Best regards, Lars
