It looks nice, but why does it have some of these permissions?  I don't see what they are needed for.  Record audio?  Disconnect from wifi?

 

Photos/Media/Files

• read the contents of your USB storage

Storage

• read the contents of your USB storage

Microphone

• record audio

Wi-Fi connection information

• view Wi-Fi connections

Other

• connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi

  

Thank you very much 🙂

It's simple:
Photo/Media files: Are requiered to choose a picture for the room, as you can see in the captures of the main menu, every room is shown with this photos.

Wifi connection: in the alerts and alarms section, every alarm is defined as a condition and events combination. There are 3 types of condition, one of them is Conectivity. With this type, you can program, for example if your are connected or disconnected to a specified wifi network (For example your home network), following this, Domote can check if you are in you home not. That's why Domote requiered wifi connection information.

The microphone is necessary to use the voice asistant. You can say for example "Show me the temperature graph", and Domote will show it.

And finally, storage is used to save the user configuration.

That's all, again thank you very much for your interest
Regards!

It spent few minutes trying to login before I discovered my channel needs to be public...

Why there is no information about channels settings requirements?

Finally why do I have to publish my channel?   

Hi!

Thank you very much for your coment.

It's not necessary make your channels public. At the begining in the loggin screen, you only have to have to insert your UserName in Thingspeak, and your user apikey.To get this user apikey, you have to go to "Account/My Account" section in Thingspeak website, once you are there, you only have to copy the apikey shown, and paste it in Domote. I attach a capture of "Account/My Account" section. Captura 1

With this information, Domote will get and show in the next screen your channels defined in your thingspeak account (public or not). If this channels are public, Domote will show every field defined in the channel. If it is not, domote will show a textbox to insert the Read apikey of the channel.

Regards!
