Heimdall - Let Homey watch over your home

@Ronald_Otto can you show me please the exact advanced flow ?

you use delay because of pre-check the sensors?

@DaneedeKruyff I am brand new to Homey, looking to migrate from Smartthings as Iā€™m looking for a more robust system. One key element Iā€™m looking for is home security. Iā€™ve been reading through your topic and I donā€™t see anything stating that your app provides for some type of virtual keypad to pop up on an ipad placed near our front door, allowing for a person entering our home to disarm the system. Does Heimdall support that type of functionality? How else can someone disarm the system if they donā€™t have the Homey app on their phone?

Also, Iā€™d like to know if you are available (for a fee) to advise me on setting up the system should I indeed need some guidance? Thanks.

Hi, welcome here.
Itā€™s not possible for an app to create UI features and Athom has not provided a keypad so itā€™s not possible fo Heimdall to present a virtual keypad.
Please send a feature request for this to Athom.
Heimdall does support the use of a Ring or Frient keypad.
Before you start, please make sure homey fits your needs and youā€™re comfortable with the way it works, what it can do and most importantly what it canā€™t do.
Also, donā€™t try to dive into the deep end before youā€™re familiar with homey. Start slowly and only when youā€™re comfortable with how homey works start to build the neat stuff.
Iā€™m sure this topic will give you enough information on how to configure your homey and Heimdall, and if you have any questions, just post them here.

@DaneedeKruyff Thanks for the reply, Iā€™ll send the suggestion to Anthom right now. Iā€™ve researched as much as is feasible, Iā€™m going to buy the hub and give it a try. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll be reading through your thread as Iā€™m setting things up.

Hi @DaneedeKruyff , I sent you Migration to Homey Compose + preparation for next HP23 firmware release by shaarkys Ā· Pull Request #74 Ā· daneedk/com.uc.heimdall Ā· GitHub request to get Heimdall ready for next upcoming change. Based on quick test itā€™s working fine for me but due to the Homey Compose migration, itā€™s probably better to keep it some time as test :wink: Anyway, if you do not want to keep Homey Compose, feel free to reject my commits.

Hello @DaneedeKruyff !
With the arrival of Dashboards, do you plan to develop a widget?
I think it would be really great to have one :blush:

Hi @Mikl,

What would you expect a widget for Heimdall to do?

Hello @DaneedeKruyff

Why not a widget that allows you to configure the monitoring mode, with a clickable icon that changes depending on the state.
Maybe also add details, like the number of active objects in the selected mode (maybe just their number per category)
We can also imagine having the time of the last activation/deactivation.
Also, why not a button that allows you to directly access the application settings?

For me, the first two ideas are the most important functions.
In terms of size, I would say a 1x3 or 2x3, depending on the number of information displayed.

What do you think?

IMPORTANT: Prepare for the new Homey Pro 2023 firmware 12.2.0

This only applies to users of Homey Pro 2023

Athom will introduce a change in Homey Pro 2023 firmware which will make it behave like the Pre Homey Pro 2023 firmware. In the older firmware Homey did not automatically create flow cards for Custom Capabilities that replaced build-in capabilities, this was unfortunately changed upon the release of Homey Pro 2023. This meant that Homey created flow cards that were never intended to be created but Athom has now decided to revert to the old method. This is good news as such for Homey Pro 2023 users because Heimdall will now only have the intended flow cards that specifically fit Heimdall just like the older Homeys!

Unfortunately thereā€™s also a downside to this. Any user that has used any of the unintended flow cards in flows will have to replace these cards with the intended cards, if you however have used the first post and posts in this topic to configure Heimdall youā€™ve used the correct flow cards, just make sure to check your flows.

If you have flows that use the flow cards that will be removed and you donā€™t prepare before the release the flows will be shown as broken after the firmware is installed on your Homey.

What will you need to change?

When: Act on a Surveillance Mode change

If you used the The state changed card from the Surveillance Mode Switch you will have to replace it with the apps Surveillance Mode changed card, the token from that card will hold the new Surveillance Mode.

So, replace:

With:
image

And: Check the Surveillance Mode

If you used the The state is card from the Surveillance Mode Switch you will have to replace it with the apps Surveillance Mode is card.

So, replace:
image
with:
image

Then: Set the Surveillance Mode

If you used the Set state card from the Surveillance Mode Switch you will have to replace it with the Set Surveillance Mode to card.
(If you already use the Set Surveillance Mode to card youā€™re fine)

So, replace:
image
with:
image

Then: Deactivate the Alarm

If you used the Press the button card from either the Alarm or Surveillance Mode Switch you will have to replace it with the apps Deactivate Alarm card.

So, replace:

and/or
image
with:

It is not clear when this new firmware will be release, it was supposed to go out to beta on the 7th of oktober but seems delayed.
