Homey + mySensors

[dennis_henk]

Hello everyone,

Soon I will receive my new home automation system homey (https://www.athom.com/?lang=nl)

On the moment there is no support for mysensors. That is why I'm posting this topic because i want to make a app for homey to work with mysensors.
Homey is writing in node.js and the app's you can develop is al in javascript.

Only problem is that i don't have a lot of experience with developing
That is why i want to aks you all where do it start to make this idea to work.

Thank you very much.

Hi. I think you need to write some sort of plugin/protocol that reads the gateway and translate it to your controller.

Hi,
I'm started to develop an app for Homey.
The app for Homey require an icon and some loggos, is there any loggos for mysnsors that i can use?

I have just started so i'm in the beginning of development.
My goal is that it will support both ethernet and mqtt gateway.

That sounds great @ErrK
According to http://www.mysensors.org/about/mysensors you can use the trademarks as long as you have no commercial intent.

The only logos I am aware of are available at https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/development/Documentation/img/logo.png and http://forum.mysensors.org/uploads/files/site-logo.png

@ErrK

If you are in need some other variant of the logo, just let me know the dimensions/transparency settings you'd need.

[ErrK]

Thanks @mfalkvidd and @hek

Don't know what dimensions the icon it needs to be a .svg file
Then loggos need to have this dimenstions:
500px × 500px, 500px × 350px, 250px × 175px and 75px × 75px

I'll email you an svg file tonight.

You can find the code in my github https://github.com/ewikner/org.mysensors.homey

Is it possible to send a command to a node to get the sensors presentation again?
A few sensors is only sending the SET command and i need to get the sensor type to know what type of data it is.

Great!

Yes, send an I_PRESENT to the node (development branch).

Created a new PR yesterday, which makes the node re-rend presentation after receiving id. Should help out as well.

Let me know when you feel ready to post the plugin news on the main site.

@hek Thanks. I will look in to it.
There are a few functions that is missing before i will call it to the first beta.

Great news @Errk!

[ErrK]

Thanks,
@hek Ok. I will fix it and send you an email.
