this will run happily on Windows phone, and depending on what you want to control you can create windows phone dashboard with exactly the functionality you desire. it also works on Windows 10 for desktops, and i have just managed to get library control of my Sonos’s from the same app which i a large achievement.
and if you have a MS band like i do, the app also allows cortana triggers to be defined. which is just awesome, now TTS is now working, i speak the command into my band, i.e. GlaDOS Play Pool…(sonos replies)…Sure, setting the lights to play pool (lights over the pool table turn on) but are you sure you don’t want cake instead?
my dreams of a house controlled by twisted AI is now alive!
@billv is very responsive to support requests on top of the fact the app is free, however please do as i do and be sure to give donations if you want him to remain committed the project and providing his time for what is essentially for free.
Such as the constant, on-going Windows Phone app iss… wait, what do you mean they’re not listed and never have been? It’s been showing as operational all this time?!
Interested to know what the latest is on the WP app. I am having major issues with general ST functionality using the app. For example, my phone is being used as my ‘presence detector’ and the app rarely reports my presence correctly. A lot of the time, it won’t say I’m home until I open then app - then I get the push notification. Or sometimes, I’ll LEAVE the house and I’ll get a push that I’ve arrived home.
I had just about enough of Samsung/Smartthings targeting against Windows Phone users. I bought it for the Windows Phone functionality. IT DOES NOT WORK!! and still today they are actively promoting this?? What a bunch of Crap. They told me to use a Android machine to configure my Smartthings… Really… Samsung?? How about you send all Windows Phone users a Free Android machine just so we can configure our stuff. I am going to see if I can take any legal action about such gross misleading advertising!!
The sad thing is that it took them this long to do it - they basically stopped supporting it a year ago, but kept promising that they remained committed to Windows users. Not exactly the “open and honest” approach they profess to follow.
Anybody have other ideas for Windows Phone compatible HA systems to use instead?
IMHO its better they are biting the bullet and putting to bed these contentious issues, it at least provides clarity and stops you living in eternal hope.
I personally loved windows phone, however with Microsoft failing to push further phone manufacture through its lumia brand was the writing ont he wall for both existing developers and users alike.
i jumped ship immediately after the announcement of Lumia’s demise and have now changed all my familys phone over to Android marshmallow phones, and haven’t looked back. and with me using Tasker heavily in my home automation solution, i look back at how more advanced things actually are than what ST can do
never gonna happen as the client contains access to non public features such as SHM. ST are not going to release code opensource that essentially reveals this module
They can consider me as a customer lost as well and a few of my friends that were about to get the hub because of the success I was having.
Sad thing is…I would have been willing to pay a monthly fee to keep development going so they can pay somebody that is SMART enough to code for Windows because obviously they weren’t because how hard is it to PORT via tools that were given for FREE by Microsoft. They even have Microsoft Employees willing to work on it for FREE! Can’t wait till all the Cortana devices come out from Mattel, Harmon Kardon, BMW, VW, Nissan and other Smart home devices that were recently shown off at CES this year and crush them. At this point, i’ll even root for Apples solution. The way ST staff has treated the Windows community is unprofessional and atrocious. Good luck in staying on top…don’t see that happening now.
Cowards…and yes, I say cowards because after pleading with Staff to just respond to any of the post under windows phone for months. Not 1 of them have in over a year. So yes, they are COWARDS.
Yea but the surface brands will be a half arsed approach to try and drive desire for the windows platform in the hope it will encourage partners to manufacture other windows phone products. Its an approach that is more destined to fail than the lumia approach that just looked so right on paper.
The windows phone platform I love. And I get the desire to keep it, I really do. But you would IMHO have to be crazy to splurge your cash down on a brand spanking new surface phone.
