> This topic is created to help show what flows need to be changed on Homey after April 1st 2021. > > - Opening post shows the communication from Athom (email) > - 1st Reply will mention the Flow Cards that still work and Cards that will stop working and will be removed in a future Firmware update > - 2nd Reply I will show a Homey script to analyze your Flows so you can fix affected flows. > Please keep it on-topic, about fixing the flows and not about the Athom’s decision . ### On April 1st the cloud servers for Homey’s speech recognition will be turned off. Six years ago we started with the vision of a voice controlled smart home. While our vision was right, our team’s size and resources weren’t — quite honest, we underestimated that challenge big time. Other players such as Amazon, Google and Apple have created great voice assistant, but are far from Homey’s smart home functionalities. Three years ago we shared [our take on Homey’s future regarding speech](https://athom.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c6c64a46fb00def658c701274&id=f51dac422c&e=2f3ab58e4c). Two years ago we launched _Homey (Early 2019)_ and _Homey Pro (Early 2019)_ , both without microphones. On April 1st, we will permanently turn off our speech processing servers. **Why we do this** Supporting and maintaining old systems takes precious time from our developers, we’d rather invest time in a better Homey experience. **What will stop working after April 1st?** - After saying “OK Homey”, Homey will respond that it cannot reach our servers. - Chat in the Homey app won’t be available anymore. - The [Facebook Messenger](https://athom.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c6c64a46fb00def658c701274&id=455cfe13e0&e=2f3ab58e4c) integration will stop working. - The Alexa skill ‘Homey Voice’ ( _“Alexa, ask Homey to …”_ ) will stop working. - The Google Assistant Voice integration ( _“OK Google, ask Homey to …”_ ) will stop working. **Please note that:** - The [Alexa Smart Home Skill](https://athom.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c6c64a46fb00def658c701274&id=21155c8bb2&e=2f3ab58e4c) ( _“Alexa, turn on …”_ ) will keep working. - The [Google Assistant Smart Home Integration](https://athom.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c6c64a46fb00def658c701274&id=9df4734b27&e=2f3ab58e4c) ( _“Ok Google, turn on …”_ ) will keep working. ---

After disabling the Speech Experiment and/or after April 1st the following cards will still be available: The other Flow cards behind the category Speech wil stop working an maybe even break flows after a firmware update. **Triggers** ![Screenshot_20210113-231625_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/c/2c428857aa125498c07c4919400b122e319b8a62.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210114-000718_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/dd534147c422948a9cbe5afb90e03eb689c771c3.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210114-000701_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/2/72e9655cd2201031dd46d98533b905f7264b15f4.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210114-000525_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/5/f5e323723d962ba4a748d93bca526f9b52a7c84f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210114-000454_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/a/5aff5cd4b666a65ede959c5fefd840b809fb7070.jpeg) **Conditions (All)** ![Screenshot_20210113-231700_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/1/f10ee4133243152c8345e17747e717791cfc9345.jpeg) **Actions** ![Screenshot_20210113-231726_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/e/de52a06b269c3d5cf292b81b1dcc9b55afd6186c.jpeg) ---

Install HomeyScript and use it on your Homey to see what Flows use Speech Cards that stop working. You can read te script here: > Use the Raw script from [Here to copy - paste it](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dijker/nu.Dijker.UnseenHomeyScripts/master/Speech%20Flows%20deprecated%20April%201st%202021.js) in your HomeyScript and RUN.

Thanks for the good explanation of what’s gonna happen April 1st. Disabled the speech recognition already this weekend and checked/changed my flows too. Installed a Google home mini to have the possibility to use speech commands. I could even drop some cards (for example: mute tv) because the speech recognition is much better now. ---

Homeyscript is a web app, [https://homeyscript.homey.app/](https://homeyscript.homey.app/) Not sure it works good from a mobile, although I did test sometimes from a Android tabled I would sugesst to do it from a desktop browser. ---

I am able to open the app, but from a mobile you can’t add/edit the content, my screen is too small and the browser starts to zoom in. This won’t work for me. Thanks for your help!! (at least I now know what to look for, thanks) ---

Btw, liked her too, but she passed away after some upgrade, probably did something inappropiate with the config ---

Hi, sorry, I’m new. Am I correct in understanding that after today, we will no longer be able to make Homey say things out loud? I had just set up a flow to have homey talk to my Google Home Mini in order to arm my Nest Guard whenever I leave the house. Would be a shame if this didn’t work anymore ☹ ---

Homey can talk just fine, just won’t listen anymore, ~~like a true wife/girlfriend.~~ ---
