Hey 👋

I’m building a Homey Pro (SDK v3) app and need to retrieve the **Zone name** for a given device from within my app runtime (e.g. Driver / Device context).

From my research, it seems possible to get the device’s Zone via the SDK, however:

- this.homey.zones is not available in the Driver / Device context

- Using ManagerApi (e.g. this.homey.api.get(‘manager/devices/…’)) fails with **Missing Session**

- The Device instance does not expose a zoneId via getData() or similar

What is the recommended / supported way to resolve a device’s **Zone name at runtime** within an app (without relying on HomeyScript or manual device settings)?

Thanks,

Gareth

Your app needs to use the [Web API](https://athombv.github.io/node-homey-api/HomeyAPI.html#.createAppAPI) to be able to access zone information.
