I’m a Claude user, and accidentally discovered your app. It sounds interesting, but I wouldn’t know what to use it for. I’m curious though. Do you have some examples?

@DaDa I use it mainly to analyze images from my cameras and also so send natural commands using the Homey MCP server :slight_smile:

Goedemorgen @BasMilius ,

I found an issue with one of my flows. I would like Claude to check on my doorbell to give a description of that person and than send it to my mobile, but I got this error:

I’m fully connected to Claude as mentioned in the App Settings. Is it correct I have to pay for this function in Claude?

Please advise :slightly_smiling_face:

@Borssie Hey! Yes, you’ll need API credits to use this app. Unfortunately, Anthropic’s terms of service currently prevent the use of your existing subscription. Hopefully they’ll make a full U-turn on this someday.

From my experience, it’s not that expensive for simple scans, but I would recommend rate limiting it somehow, like at most once every 10 minutes or something.

I have Claude Pro, but when I ask something it says “no devices found” / “you have no devices installed” — even though everything is properly set up in the Homey app. I can ask Claude things through the app and it works fine. I also have MCP installed in Claude — and in Claude (web) everything works perfectly. Has anyone here actually gotten this working?

@Willie_Plompen Did you also connect to the Homey MCP server in app settings?

@Willie_Plompen That’s weird, can you create a diagnostics report after trying again? I personally don’t have that behavior…
