I noticed that some users have installed the test version of the dingz app, please use the productive app, because the test app is only for testing and may still have bugs.
Generally, for all Homey apps, you can simply install the productive apps over the test apps without data loss. But if you delete the app first and then install the “new” app, all data will be gone…
About
The dingz Switch is a device that allows you to easily connect the wired devices to the Homey smart home. Depending on the configuration, it includes switches, dimmers, blinds control and a motion (only plus), brightness and temperature sensor.
Note
If you have problems after the upgrade, remove and rePair all devices.
Please use the test version only in exceptional cases, you can load the productive/live version over the test version without any problems (if both versions are the same). Just do not delete the app. My crash log thanks you !
Important for “Button … is …” where-card. Due to a known firmware problem, some of the Dingz buttons are not displayed correctly. In this case there is the following workaround:
Open the dingz Switch WebUI in the browser (the ip-address can be found in the Device Settings-Page)
Go to the Button Page.
Remove ALL actions
Save the settings
Assign the actions again
Save the settings again.
done…
Information for the dingz-app upgrade to v1.2.x
All Dingz devices must be deleted and rePaired because the internal structure has changed. The broken flows can be found with the homey app Flow Checker.
The paring session has been refactored and is now more homey style.
All dings devices are now autonomous and can be deleted and added again individually.
Now in a homey flow, dingzSwitch buttons that are not assigned to any action can be used as normal homey buttons via the dingz device. (Please see note)
Supported Devices
dingzSwitch FW: > 1.3.30 (No Beta v1.4.X)

Suite installation de plusieurs Dingz dans mon appartement je remarque plusieurs choses à améliorer.
Serait-il possible de pouvoir commander un contact d’un autre dingz sans passer par un flow?
Est-il prévu de dissocier les touches pour une configuration plus simple? Elle ne s’affiche que avec les capteurs.
Il serait aussi intéressant d’avoir l’image du Dingz avec l’emplacement de la touche correspondante grisé.
Following the installation of several Dingz in my apartment, I notice several things to improve.
Would it be possible to be able to order a contact from another dingz without going through a flow?
Are there any plans to separate the keys for a simpler configuration? It is only displayed with the sensors. Have the 4 outputs and the 4 inputs.
It would also be interesting to have the image of the Dingz with the location of the corresponding key grayed out. It would also be interesting to have an image with detector for the dingz plus.
I can gladly help with tests or the like.
Sorry for the delayed feedback, I’m moved to a new apartment
Would it be possible to be able to order a contact from another dingz without going through a flow?
The individual dingz can communicate with each other. see dingz-api
Are there any plans to separate the keys for a simpler configuration? It is only displayed with the sensors. Have the 4 outputs and the 4 inputs.
No, because the device does not represent the sensor, it is the dingz device itself. However, you can describe the individual inputs/outputs for a better overview via the dingz web interface.
Anyway, it is recommended that the dingz device is configured correctly first. Then the homey app imports the configuration automatically during paring.
It would also be interesting to have the image of the Dingz with the location of the corresponding key grayed out.
Unfortunately I can’t, because the buttons can be reconfigured via WebInterface, so I don’t know which button is what anymore.
Thank you for your answers.
I do not understand how to link two Dingz without flow.
It is a shame not to have the 4 outputs but also the 4 push buttons that appear when adding homey.
I’ve noticed something else lately. I only have the standard dingz that shows the temperature on Homey.
Do you also have this?
And is it possible to have a different picture between the dingz plus and standard on homey?

This has nothing to do with homey, the communication is based on the dingz-RestApi
It is a shame not to have the 4 outputs but also the 4 push buttons that appear when adding homey.
They are not missing. The outputs are represented by the individual generated switches, lights, blinds. For each button you have to create a flow with a virtual device that calls the action. Sample:
dingz device button-1 pressed > action-a
Virtual-Device button pressed > action-a
I’ve noticed something else lately. I only have the standard dingz that shows the temperature on Homey.
I know, with the dingz plus the motion detector is displayed. Unfortunately, you can not currently select in the homey-api what should be displayed. As soon as athom makes this possible, I will implement this.
And is it possible to have a different picture between the dingz plus and standard on homey?
I have deployed the new version (v1.2.2) of the dingz app on Test. It includes, in addition to general improvements, the upgrade to SDKv3 and thus compatibility with the new Homey Pro (Early 2023).
This version is no longer compatible with the app version v1.3.x. The version will remain on test for about 1 week, after that it will go live.
I have now set the test app to live, the individual Dingz devices now need to be deleted and then re-imported (paired) for the app to work properly again.
Sorry for the circumstances but unfortunately there is no other way…
Bonsoir,
La dernière mise à jour pose problème.
Obligé de remettre tout mes dingz et de refaire mes flow.
Et les boutons ne sont plus détecté par l’application. (Un sur deux voir aucun)
I had announced a week ago, that today the migration to the new version takes place and that you have to import all devices new.
New is that only the buttons that are not assigned to an “output” are displayed. Because I had the problem (and sleepless nights, plus spiteful mails) that if the one who reacts first (Flow or Device) lost and the winner overwrote the loser the settings, so a pure timing problem that I could not influence. So delete via WebUI the outputs of the respective button and this is displayed in the flow…
Please excuse me. I understand your explanation. But there must be a problem. I have a Dingz without any output (All in reserve). When creating a flow, No button is available. I have this problem on several Dingz. Should we also remove them from the Dingz app?
I have a Dingz 4 button switch.
I use two of the buttons the trigger an action on Homey.
Unfortunately since yesterday, it is not working anymore. Maybe a firmware update.
Is there a way to log all the requests received by Homey? I would like to check what is sent from the Dingz.
Hi Chris thank you for your Great work! But i have a Problem with the Dingz App in Homey. I dont use beta!
