Hi ekouters,

i am interessting in you project! You did a great job. But actually it is noch possible to run your app on Homey Pro (2023). Will you adapt your code to Homey's current SDK?

Thank you and BR, redi78

Will you adapt your code to Homey's current SDK?

I'm afraid not.

After updating the lamp's firmware, it was secured by a password on discovery. Reconnecting with a password was not possible via Homey's SDK. So the only way this library worked was after a factory reset. Furthermore, Homey's core BLE code had serious issues with caching / reconnecting / losing connectivity.

Basically I gave up on this library because Athom was not fixing Homey's core BLE code, and it is closed-source. The lamp is now eating dust somewhere in a drawer.

Eventually I ended up switching to HomeAssistant. Have never been happier.

Hi ekouters,

thank you for you answer. i asked because i got the info from eglo that they will not develop an app for their BLE devices and will only support Zigbee Devices.
