Just wanted to pitch for a dedicated “Homey Scripts” section on the forum. This would not necessarily be a “help” or “developer” section like already available, but a dedicated section where users can share working / ready-to-go scripts.

I believe this can help to showcase and optimise scripts and spark many new creative ideas (that might turn in to apps).

as for further reference, this has been asked before and kind of _declined_ because we have tags:

> We need a whole section dedicated to Homeyscript - there’s one for “Flow”, but I miss one for Homeyscript.

Thank you for pointing this out. Did not find that post myself. Sad to hear though, requested by multiple users but no considered because of a “feature” on the forum. A feature doesn’t make a good content section that thrives by itself.

Small script i use in flows to send push messages to all users easily based on groups. Need to refine it a bit though.

```auto
/* 
  Group Push Notifications
  Accepts a homey user group (owners, managers, guests) as input to send push messages to all group members.
*/ 

const obj = JSON.parse(args[0]);
const role = obj.role;
const msg = obj.msg;

/* Run checks */
if (typeof args[0] !== 'string') {
  throw new Error('This script must be run from a Flow!');
}
if (typeof role !== 'string') {
  throw new Error('A role selector required as first argument!');
}
else if (typeof msg !== 'string') {
  throw new Error('A push message is required as second argument!');
}

/* Get Users */
const users = await Homey.users.getUsers();

const pushList = Object.values(users).filter(user => user.role === role);

/* Send Push Notification(s) */
for (const user of pushList) {
  console.log(user);
  const response = await Homey.flow.runFlowCardAction({
    uri: 'homey:manager:mobile',
    id: 'homey:manager:mobile:push_text',
    args: {
      user: {
        athomId: `${user.athomId}`
      },
      text: obj.msg
    },
  });
}
  
return(true);

```
