I came to Homey from Hubitat because its moderators systematically closed threads that became critical, uncomfortable for the company, or simply too popular. I moderated a car forum for many years, and the tone there was often much harsher than anything I have seen here. We warned users who became …

Pascal, thx for your lines, at the moment its hard to find the right words, i really dont know how i should write all my thoughts here because aim sad about what I am experiencing here…i cant believe it in which direction this good and positive thread run…basically we only want to report & solve our…

Thank you for noticing what I brought to that thread, @Pascal_Nohl A lot of it was not about Homey at all. It came from other systems and from experience gathered elsewhere, and I know that made it awkward to place. But it was meant as a contribution to this product, not as a comparison for its own …

Noemt has been bought by LG. So becoming the new Samsung or LG is for sure happening. Its a matter of transition time. Anyhow I share a lot of your thoughts as the developer of HDashboards. I see we have our own little community in discord. But also a lot of people that don’t use hdashboards but are…

This is what is most confusing about my entire episode with Thread difficulties and which has lead me to the same unfortunate conclusions at Pascal. Athom built ‘fixes’ for my scenario, a large Thread mesh of 50 devices in Firmware v13.4 Matter Increases the maximum subscription intervals for mo…

Athom (Doekse) even offered personally to help, while being on his holiday, but was ignored fully (wouldn’t surprise me if he was still waiting for that di…

[image] deejayreissue: to see if I would be willing to move my Thread network back to Homey Mine is still on Homey, and it has appeared very stable since the latest update. So yes, it is entirely possible that the update fixed, or at least significantly improved, the problem. However, I have…

[image] Caseda: wouldn’t surprise me if he was still waiting for that diagnostic log code he asked for directly, as he has no (direct) access to the support mail, but still it only was send to there That would be strange, because he told me that he had looked at my support ticket. The diagnos…

He looked at your first ticket, which was (I believe) about something else then thread devices, and was already a few weeks old(?), or even some Homey updates have been passed. And your current issue might not have been in that very ticket or log, judging on how big such a log could become, it is p…

Athom almost never closes topics. The only two I’ve seen are these (1, 2), for which the reason of closing them is very obvious.
