Don’t think so but you might try. You’ll lose all your settings and devices for sure. Keep Homey upside down nad when in the website for connecting, press the alt-key… ---

Re Heatmiser, this is the latest version that was working on the old Homey OS. Now it’s throwing errors and the hot water functionality is seen as thermostat now. ---

Only when BLE is working, I will update. The Beacon App on f/w 1.5.3 is the first working presence solution for me, ever since I own a Homey. ---

i know its not the same, but I’ve loaded Bluestack on the PC and running the Homey app through that to configure. Works well, but you still dont have the overall layout of a flow like the original desktop application. Hopefully in the future an update will bring the Homey app to tablet mode (vertical position) and they may be able to add multiple columns for flows like the original desktop app. ---

I think the new Homey app is miles better than the old, even the old “preview” app was better than the original, but still no where near as good as the new app. This new app is far better layout. And should be an easy addition for Athom to create a tablet layout. I am still not sure why this app isnt compatible with tablets (vertical rotation), it seems a standard feature for all apps but Homey app refuses to adjust to vertical position. Favourites on front page is great. Had a few issues with some NFC flows and Heimdal alarm, but deleted and readded them and seem to work fine. Some Virtual devices dont seem to be triggering and I will take a look at these later, too. Apart from that all is good on my side over 2 different Homeys. FYI for those who have more than 1 Homey on your account, changing Homey Hubs is done via the “more” tab and then tapping your Homey Hub name under your Account Name. I also like the “at home” and “im awake” options that you can manually toggle. Notifications can be set on or off for different events you want to be notified for, and these work very well. I wasn’t getting notifications at all with the old apps. Overall I am very happy with the new app. (android testing only at this stage) ---

Also NFC doesnt work as it once did. Alot of my flows started with “A specific tag has been detected” , well now any registered NFC tag will activate all these flows. As you can imagine that was quite an experience with any tag triggering numerous scenes. Lucky I haven’t installed this in anyones home …🙄🙄 ---

I agree, on the desktop app or [my.athom.com](http://my.athom.com) I had a clear view. ---

Two things I’m missing: 1. The desktop app - made it easier to browse the app store and work on complex flows. This I think is a huge loss, as one of the strengths of Homey is it’s open source ability to be customized. It works out of the box, now better than ever with the new app, but it’s now a pain in the ass for anyone that wants something more than a button to switch on the lights. And this is the direct I see most home control devices going in, the direction Homey pioneered and should not leave behind. 2. Voice commands! I was using that a lot! Now it doesn’t respond, such a pain! WHY!\>?!?!?!?! ---
