🎙️ The Homey Podcast | Megathread

Thanks!

What do I do now? Post this every month? So it gets mentioned as an often requested feature and it can be added? :slight_smile:

And it seems weird that I am the only one who wants this from Homey. It seems pretty straight forward: just aggregate the data per time interval and display it in a bar. Relatively easy if you are owner of the source code.

The only thing that I can think of that is getting in the way is, the fact that Homey already has some aggregation applied. Because no one is looking for 6 year old data on 1 minute interval detail level.

With Homey Energy being an important pilar end storage getting cheaper and cheaper, perhaps it is time to rethink that strategy?

Question for the next podcast:
Will device grouping receive extended support in the future, both in device types/capabilities and functionality? For example, regarding functionality: I have two lights grouped, but the grouped flow cards for dimming don’t support a duration, whereas the individual lights do.

And to continue questions for grouping:

Once a device is in a group, it can’t be connected to another group anymore. This would be handy though…

Example: I have a fixture with a couple of bulbs. When I group those to (i.e.) “dining table light”, I cannot group them to “dining room lights” anymore.
This way I cannot operate the “dining table light” and “dining room lights” separately….

Since I switched to Tibber I have been looking a little bit more into the Energy tab. And the graphs for electricity and gas offtake below are exactly what I would like to see.

Whereas currently on device level I see the following;

So, it looks like it is possible to display graphs like these. It just needs to be implemented on device level as well :slight_smile:

Edit: and of course it would also be very nice if the Energy tab can also come to the web interface!
