Fair enough.
Will the experimental app still be updated or do we need to migrate to the official app? If so, I guess all devices have to be re-added and flows repaired?
You’re better of installing the published app indeed. Unless you want to stay in the loop with test versions (which is fine by me).
I’m not sure if you have to re-add the devices, but most likely: yes.

Hello,
Good app, thank you.
Is it possible to add more functionality to the app, e.g. like setting the “vacation mode”?
Thank you.
Hi!
What exactly is the vacation mode? Feels like a mode that exists as flow / state in Homey that controls other hardware, like your heating system, while in that mode?
Vacation mode is a mode which can be set in the Danfoss Ally app. This will set all thermostats to a specific setting.
I’ve just checked the code and the API and it turns out a few things are already in place. I’ll figure out how to expose the device capabilities and add flow charts to switch modes too.
There’s an update in the test app (Danfoss Ally | Homey) that adds flow card to set the thermostat to various kind of modes and another flow card that sets all thermostats under the account to a mode of choice.
I couldn’t find anything in the API that indicates that the Holiday feature in the app is driven by their API. It most likely iterates and automates the mode on all thermostates based on the input you give it. Which in fact is what you can do using the new flow charts in Homey, right?
Thank you very much. This new test version with the added flow card(s) seems to be working.

Thanks for verifying. I’ve submitted the version to be published!
im trying to connect my ally system but seems like the developer link in the app doesnt work so i dont get the app info over in danfoss developer
Hi Joshua you made a geat job in a really short time. Thanks! In particular because the homey supported Danfoss app doesn’t work properly. they didn’t change anything althougt they know the problems.
Never the less I discovered one big missing function in your app: If more than one thermostate is added to a room it’s building a group. if one or more thermostates in the same room added together with a room sensor they are also in one groop together. The adjustment of the temperature and other properties is only possible via the regarding group. Thus if you want to change the temperature depending e.g. on a window sensor it don’t work with the existing flow cards because they are always related to the single thermostate.
Thanks again
Jörg
