Unfolded Circle have launched their Remote 3 Kickstarter on Friday June 22nd. It was rapidly backed by >2.500 backers, generating almost 1M€ in the first 12 hours. Early bird prices (€299 for remote+dock+IR extenders) until this Monday. They estimate delivery at the end 2024/beginning 2025. They have a working Homey integration with a UC Homey App, allowing you to trigger any recipe from the remote. Their Remote 2 has been out since 2023, and the software is still work in progress. A big part of the team were community developers for the Kickstarter NEEO remote - which was shamelessly sold to Control4 while abandoning the 6k private kickstarter backers. Unfolded Circle aims their remote to be a universal smart home companion, with local open API software . Unfolded Circle Remote 3 Kickstarter

Yes, this is on my ToDo list. so stay tuned. It will be named system prompt or something along these lines.

You can pretty much interchange them in usage, the difference is mainly the connected/disconnected reason. Where the device is marked in standby when we told it to go into standby or when the remote tels homey it goes to standby.

I’m trying to find the right one to check if the remote has been powered down (switched off) completely (so not in stand by, while powered on). I find that the ‘is connected’ card works best for this purpose, as there is no connection possible to the remote when powered down.

none of them will tell you, as there is no way to tell. ony thing you could do is wake the remote and if it wakes it wasn’t powered off. so basically not possible.

I understand. For my purpose though, it works good enough. I let Homey power down the remote and dock if I go away, go to sleep or when the charge level reaches 80%. The flow needs to check whether the remote is already powered down, as the power down command will otherwise error out. So I first check if the remote is connected/reachable. If not then the flow assumes the remote is already powered down. For the dock I can check the status of the smart plug to which it is attached. I get that theoretically the remote could still be on but disconnected from the WiFi. I have the remote configured to keep the WiFi connected while in standby. So normally the remote would be connected all the time when on.

@Niels not sure but it looks like bug in AI Assistent I have Claude Sonet setup in settings: [image] but in flow I can see only gemini… strange [image]

you would be able to do a system shutdown. that will shut down the remote. [image] Zimo: e Claude Sonet setup in settings: Thanks. please keep providing me with bug and debug information. Maybe it’s to ambitious to want to support as many AI’s as possible especially without being able to have a API key for all the AI’s. But with enough debig information i’m sure we can at least some of them working and tested.

sure - moving all conversation there. Sorry didn’t know there is separate thread.

Don’t worry about it. i’m actively developing 3 different apps at this moment. and want to help and improve everything but will definitely miss things otherwise.
