I’ve tried to get some insights for the memory a long time ago. But couldn’t found something that is related to the app directly. In the app-profiling there isn’t a memory leak visiable.
I think it has something to do with the Homey core that keeps track of the BLE device somehow.
I really appreciate that and I will donate to you. Its just that people with full memory such as the above example might spend substantial time as well to investigate vague problems or buy a new Homey Pro when a dayly restart can mitigate this.
I am very aware and appreciate it a lot. I hope I didn’t say anything wrong, I just tried to point out that I also do not believe the problem is with the app :-). Working like a charm for years already over here.
Hi I tried connect
Gigaset Keeper, tile mate, tile urban, tile pro 2018 and frequently used AliExpress beacons.
They DO NOT work.
How is that possible?
Athom won’t help you since the app is developed by some one else, most likely in their spare time, free of charge. I do not know about all the devices, but Tile pro 2018 should work, I haver two. But wat you need to know is that if the tile is connected to a phone it will go to sleep and not communicate with other devices. So make sure you disable the tile in the app, uninstall the app and/or turn off bluetooth if you have the tile app installed.
Furthermore, this thread is full of other tips that might help, such as remove the battery for a short period. It took me some time to get the tiles to connect too.
I had same issue with Tile pro 2018. Disconnect from app helped. I also used phone Bluetooth to check if tile was visible or not(pair Bluetooth and see if the tile appears). If not visible in phone than Homey will not find them as well.
Tile [type x] 2020 don’t work bc of changes @Tile side. The 2018 and earlier versions should work with Homey.
I got 4 el-cheapo Ali beacons working (€ 3,68 https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMd5F2B)
I first replaced the batteries, bc they weren’t isolated and almost empty.
The first two connected like it should, the latter 2 didn’t. Reboots of Beacon App on Homey, Homey itself, & my phone got me finally to add the last two. But hey, it works
hello! i just purchased a Tile Mate and am looking to use it for presence detection for my dog. I’ve managed to pair the Tile to Homey using this app without any problem. However, after a couple of minutes, I guess the tile goes into standby (?) and Homey reports “No” to Detected.
Is this normal behaviour? My plan is to attach the Tile to my dog’s carry bag (he’s very small!) which only ever leaves the house with the dog. Can anyone suggest whether Homey’s inability to detect the Tile will cause issues if I set up a flow designed to do the following:
When: No one is home
And: Tile is outside of range
Then: Arm security system
just wanted to say that I have been out of the house twice today with the dog in his bag (a rare occurrence during these corona-times) and the Tile has reported correctly each time, both when leaving + returning. Thanks for such a great app!
Edit: Hi, me again! Is it necessary to hide Tile/delete the app from my phone? What is the purpose of this step?
I actually have done neither and the Tile seems to be reporting correctly to Homey. I tested hiding the Tile and it proceeded to hop in and out of range once or twice an hour - but only for a few seconds. Unhidden, it stays connected permanently when it’s within range of homey, and disconnects (as it should) when outside of range
Just really want to understand what are the downsides of leaving the Tile app installed
Btw, anyone know how to tell the difference between a 2018 and 2020 Tile? Say, if I were looking to pick one up second hand…
Will today’s update to homey V6.0.0 make it (after an app update) possible to use tile pro and other tiles as well? In the discorery page, I found way more devices than I could ever find with this app.
I only implement public discoverable beacons. Beacons that are closed and ibeacons and eddystones are not supported for now.
The new firmware is definitely better and faster than before and have more opportunities because of the notification functionality.
I do not have the time to implement that features on a short term. There is currently an PR from another developer that support ibeacons and eddystones. Maybe there are some developers out there that want to collaborate to support above features.
I am willing to make some time to do the review and release if need be.
