This is really a great app! Fantastic!
Iām using it with his own phone number and off course the homey profile picture. Really great. Family members and I can get reminders from Homey his own number. Much better than using my own number with Homey.
Iād like to share a cheap and easy way to do that.
My phone is a Android dual SIM with eSIM support. You can purchase a eSIM prepaid card online at Simyo for ā¬5,- and youāll get a ā¬7,50 prepaid balance for that. You need to send one SMS at least once in a half year. To keep the number active. (ā¬0.10)
Homey can help you remind for that!
WhatsApp supports multiple SIM/numbers (at least on Android). You can switch accounts really easy from within Whatsapp.
Activate the phone number in Whatsapp on your phone. Set the Homey logo as profile picture. Pair it with Homey and youāre done.
Itās really a better overview. And for some reason reminders or notifications work much better for me this way.
I can even chat with Homey and set variables or start flows.
Family members can get automated messages from a dedicated number so itās not messing our normal conversations.
You have to be aware of the Whatsapp policy that requires you to connect with your main device (The Android phone) at least once in every 14 days to keep other sessions active.
So once in every 14 days you have to switch account within Whatsapp on your phone.
Iām still looking for a way to avoid that or automate it.
Thanks for this great app @martijnpoppen

I use a iPhone 7 with an extra sim wich always worked great. Starting today I canāt make the connection anywmore because there is no on screen keyboard any more when ik need to make the connection. I also tried a iPhoen SE third genration, but that has the same problem. Anyone have the same problem, or know what I can do to work around this. Even a bluetooth keyboard doensāt work. Anybody an idea for a sollution ar a work around?
@norbert
You are in the English section of the forum. Please translate your post.
For your issue you can also try the homey webapp: https://my.homey.app
Sorry! I translated my tekst.
But why would tjje Homey web app help me? There is nothing wromg with homey. The problem is within whatsapp.
Itās in this screen that I donāt get a keyboard so I canāt enter the code.
@Norbert ah sorry didnāt get that! Thatās really strange. Maybe you can file a issue at WhatsApp itself.
I will do that, but probably wil take a long time for them to fix it, so I was hoping someone here would have a clever idea because I canāt get it working now.
Repair a device does chrash my homey completeā¦ āred led ringā reboot device (power plug) will restart homey again.
Diagnostic report :
0abe8622-0287-4116-9e36-7013657091cf
But itās after the reboot so i think you cannot see anything.
@Seinuh please reproduce the issue and send a report.
But I do see a working connection, according to the logs you seem to get messages coming in
I got 2 ādevicesā i have replaced my phone and that device needs an new pair codeā¦ so if i click on repair my whole homey is crashingā¦ it shut down and the led ring on my homey goes redā¦
So repairing my device will chrash homey, but cannot sent a diagnostic report of this situation because its dead at that point.
@Seinuh in the webapp or the mobile app?
Both web and app ārepairing deviceā
Can you check if you have the same issue on other apps?
Repairing a doorsensor no problemā¦
