No it is automatically added based on SDK and platform. A developer can set a minimum of maximum firmware version but that doesn’t charge that line.
Ah, ok, didn’t know that. Never too old to learn…
Btw, Franks problem is „just“ related to the TFA 30.3139 temperature sensor. Of course, for him it’s a pity, but in my opinion there is absolute no need to degrade the app compatibility just for HP19 and earlier, which would not work easily anyway.
But it would be appropriate to add an info in the App Store, that the TFA 30.3139 temperature sensor doesn’t work on HP23.
Has anybody created a ticket with Athom for this issue (i.e. that it works on HP19 and not on HP23)?
I am using a Cresta/TFA temp. sensor with humidity and it is working from the 5th of januari till today.
It is the only sensor that i have added to this app.
Do you have an Amazon link for me, please?
I think this was the temp sensor that I have bought years ago with my Homewizard.
Hey Homeys!
Can someone explain the “Repair” function for these sensors to me?
Periodically I’m having problems with some sensors not reporting for several hours to Homey. The same sensors do report to my Telldus Tellstick, so the sensors seems to be working as they should.
When this problem occurs I sometimes have been able to remedy it by removing and replacing the batteries but then the problem with flows being broken happen since the sensor gets a new ID.
I did read that one can use the repair function to “learn” Homey the new ID for the sensor…but I have never been able to get that to work. First I get an error message:
When I click “OK” the search for new sensors start and a new sensor is found (mostly). When I try to add that sensor I get the spinning thingie indefinitely and I have to click cancel, and subsequently the sensor is still dead. This is true for both the app and the web GUI. The only way to get the sensor back is to add it as a completely new sensor and redo all the flows that involved the old sensor ID.
Am I missing something with the repair function or is it broken?
Cheers from Sweden!

Hi!
@nlrb: Ones again, thanks a lot for a great app!
Coming back to this as I wanted to give another shot. I had the same issue back in 2022 and unfortunately it seems to still be the same.
I got my hopes up when I saw that the repair function actually found my device after changing batteries, but I am however experiencing the same as @Paxman above here.
If it would be possible to enter the channel and ID of the device manually I believe it would help solve these kind of issues.
As you can see from the screenshots below I have two sensors. One of them uses protocol UPM/Esic and the other one Alecto v1. The UPM/Esic works flawlessy when batteries are changed. For the Alecto one however, the Channel and ID for some reason changes when batteries are changed (as you can see on the sensor details below, the previous channel and ID were different). This is a problem because it means a new device has to be added and all flows updated with the new device.
When trying to repair the device it actually finds WS-1xxx, but when I press continue it gets stuck on an empty screen.
Do you have any advice on how this could be handled?
Although batteries aren’t replaced every day it is not ideal to rely on this sensor in flows if everything has to be updated when the batteries are replaced.
Thanks in advance
Hello! I have various temperature gauges connected to Homey Pro via Wireless Weather Sensors and it works very well in terms of being able to follow the temperatures. I have used the temperatures to create flows like “If the temperature is less/greater than” that works great. Now I want to create a Flow with temperature as a “and”, but I can’t find any of the temperatures available for that.
Is there an option somewhere “And the temperature is less/greater than xx” ?
@Grete If you want to use a AND cart for the temperature you can use a Logic card.
By “Nummer” select the card of the sensor and then “Is less then” or “Is greater then”.
