Introducing Moods
Written by Emile Nijssen
Today we are introducing 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, the Mood can be started from the Home-tab under Favorite Moods or under the Devices-tab, both in the mobile app & web app.
Flow
Any Mood can, of course, be started 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 is started, the curtains can be closed 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 (both Free and Premium) and Homey Pro (Early 2023) starting Homey Pro v11.0 and the Homey app v8.2.
Customers owning Homey Pro (2016 — 2019) will get the option to unlock Moods for a one-time purchase of € 10 later this year.
