It doesn’t look like new devices are being added, the test version of the app (for firmware v5) doesn’t support any new devices compared to the current version.
Hmm, on fortunately. I see however that @johan_bendz is a volunteer for the app? Do you expect that new devices get added to the app?
Aside of adding new devices, the app should probably be renamed to Ledvance because Ledvance is not allowed to use the Osram name anymore I’ve seen. So my motion sensors are probably ledvance sensors “under the hood”.
I’v asked Athom if they want me or an other community developer to manage the app or develop a new Ledvance app but so far they decided to manage the app inhouse. Perhaps waiting for Ledvance to act…?

And I am waiting on Athom to release an update… Some of my osram ledvance devices=standard zigbee device.
I have the impression that the Osram app is only rarely maintained. I’ve been waiting for the Surface lights to be integrated for ages. Since nothing has changed in the beta app, I will move my Osram to the ConBee stick, which immediately recognized the Surface. Maybe a tip for Osram / Ledvance victims.

Got a reaction from Ledvance: the integration with Homey is not their priority and it is something that Homey needs to do because it is a homey platform and not a ledvance platform. It is also not something that they want to do in the future.
So no help from Ledvance unfortunately.
I hope Athom can help us, or transfer the app to the community or something?
Hi all,
Ledvance own app is available since 2 weeks now.
The Ledvance PAR16 RGBW Z3 is completely functioning now, very happy with it!
Tested with the Homey v5.0.4 RC (experimental) firmware
The Ledvance Smart+ app version 4.1.7
Would you please allow me to ask all of you to add all expieriences with zigbee lights, without additional bridge, to the following list.
Thank you all in advance
Indeed, all is working great with the new ledvance smart+ app. I see it is maintained by Ledvance so they must of had a change of hart? (since @Daan_Vermeulen wrote that it was not their priority)
Not all. I tried to add a ledvance smart+ outdoor plug. But unfortunately no app can be found, so it’s added as a generic zigbee device.
I contacted Ledvance to add support for their outdoor plug, gave them the interview code. In the meantime I have to use the osram Lightify app of Athom.
Athom:
"Wist je al dat veel Osram/Ledvance producten, nu ondersteund worden door een nieuwe app?
Ledvance heeft het onderhoud en integratie van nieuwe producten op zich genomen en een nieuwe app in de app shop gezet."
Hoi @rvdeijk
Well that is strange indeed, BUT… I don’t really see the problem with that. Standard zigbee can do 1 thing: on/off. What do you expect more from the outdoor plug? (I have on too!) And as the plug has no builtin power meter you’re not missing out a thing…?
Correct but that counts for lots of other devices that only have on/off support. Not sure if an app have extra benefit, besides a proper icon. Maybe some flow cards.
Ledvance support doesn’t seem to understand. This is what they replied when I asked to add the outdoor plug to their new app that they develop and after providing them my interview code.
Yes, you are right that the product is not included now in the application Homey. But you can write also to the homey support and ask for the next update. When the product firmware will be available.
Or wait for an update because products are continuously replenished.
All the time you can check it
Ledvance: LEDVANCE SMART+ App for Homey | HomeyOsram: Osram Lightify App for Homey | Homey
If it is a brand Osram - Homey apps by Athom B.V.
you can ask here – creator of the app
So yes I can wait for an update, but the whole point is that I ask for an update…

For the zigbee plugs indoor/outdoor there is not a single thing that would change except for the icon. I think that is why they won’t make an extra effort to release an update for this single issue. I do read between the lines they might add it in a next release of the app which will support new lights etc…
But again, for the plugs it won’t change a thing, just the icon.
