Does anyone know if @johan_bendz is willing to transfer? I won’t have that much time to maintain all new feature requests. But I will be able to maintain merge requests from other developers and maintain the app that way. I see the current code hasn’t been updated for a while. I have made a version now (for myself) with all open merge requests, but if I read a bit the topic here, it might be that more people might benefit from a little bit updated app.
@Doekse do you know the current state? (maybe we can continue through PM).
You are ofcourse always free to reach out to @johan_bendz about the subject, but I can also connect you via email. Feel free to reach out to partners@athom.com
That would be great!! 90% of the lights I own are Hue, and I understand that @Doekse needs to keep Phillips/Signify happy, but as others have already pointed out, this app is used by many people. The value of this app became clear to me again recently when my router stopped working. No Wi-Fi means no Hue with a bridge. Meanwhile, my Homey just kept running with the lights that are linked to the Hue Without Bridge app.
It also naturally provides a much better Zigbee network on homey, and I agree with what Dirk said: Of the nearly 50 lights I have, the price of a Bridge is a drop in the bucket for Signifiy. Hue could lose many Homey users because of this. In any case, I’ll be looking for an alternative that works directly with Homey if this app really isn’t supported anymore. I’m afraid I’m not the only one.
Do you maybe know when the deadline will expire? To be honest I’m very hesitant to buy anything from Philips Hue due to the status of the app. I’m happy to hear though that there are people like you who are willing to maintain it once you have the ownership.
i have added two philips hue lamps to my homey 2019. They got in the devices list as uniform zigbee lights.
Why can’t i adapt the name and the parameters of the devices? The name is wrong and it is an overig and not a lamp…, but when i try to change it homey says “parameter_not_updatable”
