As much as I would like to use the official Homey app store, I think this is a great addition. Thx!

Nice initiative, thank you.

> Nuki Bridge Api (local) App

For those with a Nuki lock, my feedback is that this particular app works much better than the one on the App Store and as the name says (local) even if your internet drops, Homey can still communicate with Nuki. You need a Nuki bridge, thought.

Hi Henk,

This doesnt seems like an homey app.  
If you would like to request the community to build such an app, there’s an different thread for that: [Homey Community App Requests](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-community-app-requests/2713)

Hi @Martijn_Hoogenbosch this isnt an Homey app, but an webserver app that can communicatie with homey via webhooks by the looks of it?

This is another category of “apps”, we could maybe include that as an seperate category?

@Martijn_Hoogenbosch if you are running firmware 5 you must install the Homey Community Store Homey app. You can download the installer from the navigation bar at the top for your OS.

After the Homey Community Store app is installed your should be able to install apps again. Send me a personal message if this above is not the case 😉

You have to run the installer just once for each Homey. After that you can go back to use the store’s website
