The Homey App just connects to the Cloud Services API.
Pessence/Welcome, Weather station, and Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitor are complete independent products each connecting with their own base station too your Wifi.
Thanks @Dijker - I wasn’t sure because sometimes you dont need a bridge despite of the information of the specific vendor (netatmo, philips, IKEA).
And thats - in my case - seems to be a worth change of any app description for homey apps.
Every developer should give a info, if or if not - or in the case of netatmo - if only some devices need a bridge. Currently its very confusing due to the lag of information.
I see that only for the bridges that use a common protocol like Zigbee or z-wave.
For systems like this that consist of a base stations with some devices that communicate using a proprietary signal you will imho always need the complete systeem.
I don’t know of much exceptions outside some RF systems using 433 Mhz and specified that way. But maybe it is complex for many users new to so many technique.
For this app I suggest you contact the developer, Athom at their support site to let them know as it is not wait they will see your suggestion here. Who knows they will add it to the app info.
Does anyone know if there is a plan to split up the app into just giving access to the weather station and not my security cameras (presence)? Currently I have to give Homey access to all of it or none of it?
When I hit the test button - flow ask me for “test” CO2 value - If I ad value according to the condition, then everything is OK and the Action is processsed.
Hello I would like to know if it is possible to activate and deactivate the led projector of the netatmo Presence camera using in a flow homey as action?
I also have some problems with Netatmo Cameras:
I would like to tell my Welcome, that everybody has left the house, when I push a button.
I can see some Netatmo entries in the WHEN section…
For quite some time ago I asked them to add humidity to the Netatmo healthy home coach, and they fixed the issue just about two weeks later, so sometimes you’re lucky!
I have also sent several requests for various devices, including the Netatmo Smart Smoke Alarm. I haven’t received any response either.
Is it the general experience that Athom is very arrogant and don’t communicate with the users that keep them alive??? I predict a short life for them if this is the case.
