Hi there, Can any advise if I need to buy lightwave wifi link to connect lightwave products with homey? Thanks Gunay

For gen 1 lightwaverf products the theory is no, but the Lightwaverf app seems to be broken at the moment. Not sure if / when it will be fixed. For gen 2 Lightwaverf products then definitely yes and currently the only way is via IFTTT.

Thanks Adrian So I need to buy 2nd gen lightwave products and use ITTT to control them via homey? Did I understand it right. This souns overly complicate it as opposed to downloading an app to homey and control it. Unless I am missing something. Cheers Gunay

I believe gen 1 can also be controlled via IFTTT. The Homey Lightwaverf app is produced by an independent community developer so no idea if he is still active.

As I only use Lightwaverf dimmer I can’t comment on others as I have no experience with them. Maybe someone else can comment. In general look for zwave or zigbee version as Homey will connect to many of them. If you find a model then check the homey app store to see if it is supported. Maybe chec…

Maybe start another topic asking for suggestions for dimmer compatible with homey as people may ignore this one as it mention Lightwaverf specifically.

LightwaveRF plug-in has been broken for around two months now. Developer has passed the app over to athom as no longer has the time to maintain. Multiple emails to homey I’ve heard nothing back. Very frustrating. Customer service leaves a lot to be desired.
