Introducing Moods
Written by Emile Nijssen
Today, we introduce Moods, a new way to capture your smart home lights.
With Moods, you can quickly capture your lights' current colors or choose from a wide range of beautiful presets.
After selecting lights for your Mood, you can start it from the Home tab under Favorite Moods or under the Devices tab, both in the mobile app & web app.
Flow
Of course, any Mood can start from a Flow. For example, at a certain time, when someone comes home, when pressing a button, or based on a sensor.
Additionally, a Flow can be made such that when a Mood starts, the Flow also starts with it. This enables even more flexibility to let other device types respond. For example, when a Mood called Movie Time starts, the curtains close and the TV turns on.
Voice Assistants
Moods can be started from Amazon Alexa & Google Assistant. For example, to start a Mood called "Movie Time", say "Alexa, start Movie Time" or "Hey Google, start Movie Time". Ensure to re-sync first by saying, "Alexa, discover devices," or "Hey Google, sync my devices."
Availability
Moods are now available on the Homey service (Free and Premium) and Homey Pro (Early 2023), starting with Homey Pro v11.0 and the Homey app v8.2.
Customers owning Homey Pro (2016 — 2019) will have the option to unlock Moods later this year for a one-time purchase of €10.
