This is my third attempt with Homey - love the idea of it but just ran into show stoppers before, which are no longer an issue, I hope. Last time it was that the App for the Secure central heating and boiler was buggy and the developer had been absent for a year and was not responding. Now moved Tado so that is not an issue. I have about 30 Greenwave Wave sockets and about 15 Ajax Zignito Zigbee Plugs that I have been using to track energy usage around the house. I have installed one of each into the Homey Pro. The Greenwave only seems to be able to record current wattage not cumulative so can’t see daily usage of say a fridge or freezer. Is there some way in Homey to collect that data? I am pretty sure I did not have this issue with the Greenwave before, so appears he App may have gone backward ? The Ajax Zignito Zigbee Plugs will only join Homey as basic on off zigbee switches which is a real shame. The MyEnergie App just not appear to connect with the MyEnergie service so that won’t work ☹ Hoping the Victron App will work that will be awesome as I have a Victron system being installed in two weeks. The Sonos, Hue, Bosch, Dyson, Harmony, Plex, Tado all worked like a dream 🙂 ---
