Guys, Girls,  
I am going to draw a Line here,  
This is again becoming an endless discussion between proponents and opponents of the Mobile First choice of Athom.

For who this is new:

- it started with the Mobile first decision of Athom communicated here almost 18 months ago!  
([https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/53760/#Comment\_53760](https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/53760/#Comment_53760))
- and the hard discussion on Slack, Forum and other places on the Internet.
  - [https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3401/mobile-first-discussion-and-questions-regarding-the-software-update-from-23-06-17/p1](https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3401/mobile-first-discussion-and-questions-regarding-the-software-update-from-23-06-17/p1)
  - [https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3992/homey-smartphone-app-preview/p1](https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3992/homey-smartphone-app-preview/p1)

It must be encouraging for Athom to see that so many Homey’s are committed to using Homey and want to have their best solution.

Despite that Athom has to make decisions and chooses to develop one Mobile App (for both iOS and Android) and stop developing the Desktop/Web interface.

Athom opens up the possibility (API interfaces) to give others the option develop own Apps, Web interfaces and integrations.  
These APIs are still under development but this options will probably be available to developers soon! (As many things have been changed during development)

This is a community forum and your posts, questions and suggestions will not (all) be read by Athom.  
If you disagree please send your disappointments to Athom (support) as a continuous discussion here will not help.

If you want to discuss the missing of the Web UI and the Mobile First decision with others here on the Community Forum there is now a Discussion topic about that here:

> [@Athom's Decision for Mobile First and removing of the Desktop Interface/WEB UI in Homey v2.0.0](https://community.homey.app/t/athoms-decision-for-mobile-first-and-removing-of-the-desktop-interface-web-ui-in-homey-v2-0-0/5341):
>
> Quote from “Software status” Mobile First Most of our development power has been allocated to work on the new Homey Smartphone App. The new app will be mostly native, and a lot easier to use for both existing users and newcomers. It will make it much easier to add new features as well for us, because currently we’re working with a front-end codebase of over 3 years old. Our focus shift to mobile means that the Homey Desktop App (and all web-interfaces) will eventually be removed as of Homey…

I (and other Moderators) will move all your Posts/Reply’s about missing the Desktop/Web Interface and the decision Mobile First to that topic to keep this discussion clean about the Homey v2.0.0 Experimental Firmware and the corresponding Mobile App. (also from above here !)

Back to the Topic: Homey v2.0 Firmware and the new Mobile App  
and please: Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree and have Phun!
