Can not compile Homeyduino example sketch

Developers

I have problems to get started with Homeyduino. Tries with below simple sketch. have installed homeyduino library. Compilation gives massive amount of errors, copied below.
Am I missing something here ?

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <Homey.h>

const char* ssid = "example";

const char* password = "example";

const char* name = "example";

void setup() {

WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

Homey.begin(name);

}

void loop() {

Homey.loop();

}

Compiler error message:

@Larseson I know nothing about coding but can you place youre code between <> so it is not a long way to go scroll down the code.

Thanks

AFAIK Homeyduino only supports boards with ATMega, ESP8266 or ESP32 processors. Yours has an ARM Cortex, which is quite different.

4

Thank You.
I am new to the Arduino, and I want to use it with Homeyduino.
Which board do you recommend ?

Depends on what you want to do with it :sweat_smile: I haven’t used Homeyduino for a very long time, but I assume it will work with common boards like the D1 Mini (ESP8266) or D1 Mini 32 (ESP32).
