Rendering templates with different models into named outlets in Ember.js

I want to render 2 lists of items, both templates that each over the model.

I tried to render the main template first and then the nested ones into some named outlets of the main template, which works.

But when I try to give the nested ones a different model (they all use different model arrays), I get an error:

 The value that #each loops over must be an Array.
 You passed '<DS.PromiseArray:ember451>' (wrapped in (generated homepage controller))

Here is the code:

renderTemplate:function(){
  this.render('homepage');

  this.render('roomlist',{
    'into':'homepage',
    'outlet':'roomlist',
    'model':this.store.find('room')
  });

  this.render('activitylist',{
    'into':'homepage',
    'outlet':'activitylist',
    'model':this.store.find('activity')
  });
}

Edit:

Alternative idea I had, was to use {{render "roomlist" rooms}} after this.set("rooms", this.store.find("room"); in the model-hook instead of the renderTemplate-hook. But it threw almost the same error:

The value that #each loops over must be an Array.
You passed (generated roomlist controller)

You should resolve the models you will use in the model hook, and then you can use them in your templates much easier:

something like this:

model: function() {
  return Ember.RSVP.hash({
    rooms: this.store.find('room'),
    activities: this.store.find('activity')
  });
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
  this.set('rooms', model.rooms);
  this.set('activities', model.activities);

  controller.set('model', model.rooms);
},

renderTemplate: function(){
  this.render('homepage');

  this.render('roomlist',{
    'into':'homepage',
    'outlet':'roomlist',
    'model':this.get('rooms')
  });

  this.render('activitylist',{
    'into':'homepage',
    'outlet':'activitylist',
    'model':this.get('activities')
  });
}
