Not sure if this is the right place (and if anybody is waiting for my input) but i’d like to spread my thoughts nonetheless… I am a bit torn on the decision to drop support in community driven environments. In (commercial) enterprise environments there is a good reason to drop support as it needs t…

:see_no_evil: I could have seen that coming, but this is the perfect example of the problem. So we now know at least 5 apps (and I’m using 3 of them daily) won’t be available in 2,5 months, that’s quite a big issue for me. Is there any way we can motivate you into upgrading them? :innocent: (and y…

[image] Chris_nl: Is there any way we can motivate you into upgrading them? Not really. HomeyKit (my biggest app with 8K installs) has been running just fine for years (other than all the Web API-related crashes, but since Athom turned off most crash report e-mails for community apps those do…

This is the exact reason why I posted my initial thoughts. I honestly wouldn’t feel the need either if I was a developer. The app is running perfectly fine, no resource leaks or inefficient way of handling resources. All in all your users (me included) are happy with it. To then be pushed by the pl…

When Athom released SDK3 it was inevitable that SDK2 would come to an end at some point, hence I updated all my apps soon after. The conversion process is a bit of a pain but it didn’t take long and the updated app can be tested on the current Homey Pro. There are a few other changes with the new H…

HomeyKit is indeed one of the apps I’m using, but also the nefit Easy app is something I use every day. Totally understand your point of view, already see the same thing happen to many other apps. ::sob:

Is there any good tutorial/guide showing what is needed to be changed for SDK3? There is one at the Athoms “Start building your app”, is that what’s needed to be done? If there will be a need I might try to upgrade at least the once I am using.

I used this one (which is probably the one you mention) Upgrading to SDK v3 - Homey Apps SDK

I share this concern about community apps. Although Athom develops and maintains quite some (important) apps themselves, and some manufacturers do as well, I think that the real power (and therefore value) of Homey lies in the community apps. I just checked, I use 5 Athom apps, 5 manufacturer apps,…

Updating my apps to SDK3 simply hasnt been a priority i my life, large amount of work - and zero gain. (There was meant to be a hoodie … but it never arrived). You may say, or its a minor update, but some of these apps are 6 years old and not received an update in over 5 years. Sure, now there fee…
