**Let homey control your [Particle.io](http://Particle.io) devices.**

**App store link:** [Particle.io](https://apps.athom.com/app/io.particle)

Before adding a particle device you need to go to app settings and enter the API access token. If you don’t know where to find the access token this [thread](https://community.particle.io/t/getting-finding-an-access-token/44084) may help.

Devices need to be online to be added to Homey.

**Triggers**

- Device connected/disconnected
- A device connected/disconnected
- Device events  
All events generated by the device are issued to Homey as a trigger. Filtering of relevant events needs to done by using conditions.

**Conditions**

- Variable value

**Actions**

- Call function
- Publish event

**Settings**

- Refresh interval (seconds)  
How frequently the device information is refreshed from the particle cloud to Homey.

- Enable device events as a trigger  
By default the Device events trigger is disabled. If your device issues events that you want to use as a trigger for flows then you need to enable this setting.

I updated this app to sdkv3, ie firmware version 5. There is a test version available [Particle.io App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/io.particle/test/).

We are a small number of people using this app, so pretty flexible in implementing what is requested.  
Would be interesting to understand what you use particle - homey for. I use it myself for among other things controlling my garage door, pool pump and heating, garden irrigation, etc.
