Hi @Doekse I have technical questions please, in the last episode @emile described skipping zwave in the hpm was because of the expensive chip price, is there any other concerns? What. you guys think about smart home protocols and if someone would like to manufacture smarthome devices what protocol he should adapt? ---

The LaMetric Time you talk about in the podcast. I have one too. Just a remark: There is a Stocks app you can run on the clock itself. No need to push the stock data from Homey to the clock. But what is the fun in that 😁 ---

Hi @Doekse The voices in the podcast sound weird in German (like a 4 year old child)!🥴! Is there a link so I can listen to the original? ---

@Doekse, you mentioned that you are working on dynamic prices for the Energy tab. How will this be implemented? Is Homey fetching the prices, is it set by flows or maybe both? ---

We will be retrieving data directly from the energy market and collaborating with energy providers to ensure accurate and reliable data 😉 ---

Another great podcast. A few podcasts ago there was talk about an option to make devices invisible. Is there any insight into when this highly sought after option will be available to me? ---

Hello Abe, About: > [@Sharkys](#): > > Homey Bridge Satellite Bluetooth repeater/extender Curious: can you tell if this is implemented, or isn’t? Because this was announced as part of future plans in Podcast #5; And it’s mentioned a KB about Sat mode: ![1000044257](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/b/ebdfb5e10fd3bfd59a4c002da4601c6227ef5c78.jpeg) Thanks! ---

Question/suggestion: In mobile app. unintended on/off switch of device is not hard to get when scrolling etc. Is there any chance of having a setting for on/off devices like ’Demand confirmation’ that, when checked, throws an ok/cancel dialog before sending the on/off-command to Homey?
