Love this! Do you have a download link? Btw the link to github leads to a 404 page

I’m waiting for the previous developer to transfer the app to my account, and then I will release a new version for you to test.

Hey @balmli, pleased that you are taking over the development of the app!

I use non-purpose Smart Presence to detect the general readiness of IP devices on the network with a Fritzbox. So analogous to the ubiquity function. Works very well.

Just as a hint for you that there is more potential in the app that can be expanded in the future

balmli · August 20, 2020, 8:06am

Very well ! Just put all your improvement suggestions here

Wow, this was fast now I’m just waiting for the download link

balmli · August 20, 2020, 1:13pm

Now version 0.6.0 is ready for testing:

Please test

That upgrading from 0.5.0 / 0.5.1 goes well
That the flows work as expected
That it works on your devices. I’ve only tested on iPhone.

Downloaded and it works on Android, thanks

Working here, on my Android phone.

Thanks!

Tb1 · August 20, 2020, 4:09pm

Tested on some devices like TV, printer and android. It works fine

Ton_van_Rijnsoever · August 20, 2020, 6:34pm

dear Balmli, thanks for quickly customizing the app. maybe you still have some time to adjust a few more apps haha. keep up the good work

Bart_v_R · August 31, 2020, 1:25pm

I am using the app for a while now with good results, but since the update to 0.6.2 today it seems that my phone is not being noticed anymore on connecting to WiFi.

The flows I use work fine with the test button but when connecting/disconnecting from WiFi nothing happens anymore. My flows aren’t changed in any way and my IP address is still fixed and correct defined in the app config.

Is there something wrong with the update or do I need to reconfigure something? Please help, because I use smart presences for controlling my lighting every evening! Now it just stays dark

balmli · August 31, 2020, 1:47pm

Hi,

Have you checked the default Away delay in adv. settings?

It’s 900 seconds / 15 minutes.

If you still have problems, please press the «Create diagnostics report» - button from App-settings, and I might see what’s wrong

Bart_v_R · August 31, 2020, 2:05pm

Thanks for the quick reply!

And yes, delay is 900s (unchanged after update of the app).
I will try to remove and add the flows and see if that makes a difference. If not I will send a diagnostic report to you.

Greets,

Bart

Same here. Not detecting my phone anymore since the update to 0.6.2. Rebooted Homey w/o succes. Is there a fix for this?

balmli · August 31, 2020, 4:44pm

Hi all, thanks for reporting!

Yes, there’s a bug in 0.6.2 for existing users. Install v. 0.6.3 please, just released to test.

Or you can wait for Athom to approve it.

Annie · August 31, 2020, 4:47pm

Thanks! v 0.6.3 is OK!

fantross · September 1, 2020, 9:22am

Hey all,
could someone please share a flow for leaving home (A household member left)?
Which variable I have to use in the „And…“ section?

Thanks in advance!
