When might there be ‘proper’ (Athom-developed and Athom-supported) apps (or better yet, browser-based UI) for heating scheduling and security alarm? In pre-purchase dialogue with ‘Bram’ (an Athom co-founder?) in Mar 2018 it seemed these were ‘being worked on’, but never materialised. Then somebody [mentioned an app for heating that had been withdrawn](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-2-0-heating-scheduler-and-alarm-security-functions/5914/5), and then some community developers made their own versions, which unfortunately aren’t updated very often and remain with some [long standing unresolved bugs](https://github.com/mskg/homey-heating/issues/198). Similarly, for security [there was reference to an ‘official’ development](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-2-0-heating-scheduler-and-alarm-security-functions/5914/2), but nothing ever appeared, except [another community app](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.uc.heimdall/Heimdall/), which I see is popular among Homey technical enthusiasts, but suffers the same limitations as the heating schedulers from a normal person’s point of view in the sense that the UI is extremely cumbersome and complicated given the limitations of the app\>settings real estate and UI available. It really surprised me that Homey never got around to this, as both these 2 common/basic bits of home automation were built-into other home automation controllers like [here](https://manuals.fibaro.com/knowledge-base-browse/heating-panel-in-fibaro-home-center/) and [here](https://manuals.fibaro.com/home-center-2/#2820), as out-of-the-box features. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/ten-years-of-homey-ask-me-anything/110598)._
