Wait. Did I read that right? The .env data with app tokens will now be exposed? Ain’t that a massive security loophole and cause abuse of app tokens? Am confused…

The app soundboard is more than only play a sound on the homey. You can also play the sound on Sonos. So really hope there will be a app like this.

To keep this app working for (older) Homey Pro’s will make it that a new app will have to be written as the permission for speaker output is still needed there, currently not possible to work around this I believe.

So as of 1st januari 2023 my 2019 PRO won’t update anymore? And signing up for backup in the cloud is no use for those 3 month?

Athom claims that the current Pro still will be updated. But for how long nobody knows.

Security patches will be a thing for a while but to be fair they have supported this hardware since 2015 that’s 8 years of support

Where do you read that?  
It is only about apps that still use SDKv2.

All Homeys will get updated still with new features etc (though that might cause you to not be able to use apps that haven’t been updated yet).  
There has nothing been said **when** such an update will come for the older Homey Pros. (It will come, we just don’t know when)

It is just that you can’t install SDKv2 apps anymore from January on, as all apps using SDKv2 will not be available in the appstore.  
Which is 80-90% of the list above if none get updated.

If you have a Upnp server or NAS or something, you can use the Universal Music Player to do the same as soundboard (only from a USB stick or NAS).

Bob Kersten just transfered [Chronograph](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.fellownet.chronograph/Chronograph/) to me.

This means it will be updated to SDK3 and maintained.

Really! That would be amasing! Really please keep that folder so we can fully migrate!  
And keep that lovely customisation everyone seems to love!

Great.  
I was just thinking about the other day whether if I should try doing that myself.  
I am an experienced software developer but have not tinkered with node.js (yet).  
This was very great news.

There may be enough other apps that need a new developer and for you to tinker with node.js 😉
