Hey! Thank you for the great app. I really enjoy using my FP2s with it 🙂

I have a small improvement wish. Would it be able for you to include dropdown in the “minutes inactive” flow cards to switch between seconds and minutes? It would be soo useful for me to also be able to use seconds instead of minutes. Kind of like the Chronograph app does.

Is the number only wrong in the ‘current-position’ field in the screenshot, or also on the slider screen?

Can you initiate a command to it and pm me the log afterwards

I have the same problem with the Velux Shades and Window.

Homey doesnt show the current status of the shades/window, and clicking on the icon in the “units” doesn’t do anything. (I would expect it to either open or close the window/shades.

Hi @Martin_Verbeek , does this support other hubs and associated thermostats? I have a thermostat (Pollypipe Smartstat) that is only available on Homekit currently, shared through the manufactures Hub. I have tried to add, it sees the hub but I get the following error:
