The last update to this app was over seven months ago, well before we became part of the LG Electronics family. It seems that our acquisition did not influence the developer’s decision to stop working on the project.
While we can reach out to the community developer, we don’t have the ability to force anyone to update their app, especially when it’s a project they worked on in their spare time.
On the Homey platform, developers have the option to share their contact information, but in this case, the developer chose not to. Again, we respect their decision and cannot compel them to provide contact details.
We are actively working to bring more brands onto the Homey platform. In some cases, we’ve seen community-developed apps transition into official ones, with collaboration between the community and the brands they know and love. However, we cannot force a brand, such as Panasonic, to join the platform—those decisions ultimately rest with the brands themselves. Rest assured, we will continue to do our best to encourage their participation.
