[APP][Pro] Device Capabilities - Enhance the capabilities of devices

Some ideas and thoughts:
I ceated a “motion operated light” template flow.
The timer app I use is Chronograph, while you can create timers on the fly, just by entering a timer name. On other timer card you just have to enter the same timer name.
You think entering the given timername is possible while creating the flow?

Also, I like to use zone activity for it. Is it possible to read the zone triggercards and pick a replacement zone up front?

Zones are on the list yes.
Also, create support for curtain apps is gonne be implemented.

Chronograph

Does it have the timers as Global App Tags?
Because apps that do, like Better logic, allready show a selection list of your own variables/tags so you can change them.

And the bonus question, is it possible to enter the (edited) flowname in Papertrails logcards (“Add to the log”) while creating the flow?

Please explain (with printscreens?) what you mean, i don’t know the app.

Cards are on the printscreen. Its like a timeline notification, a textfield. Text gets added as one line, to a local logfile

I will look into it, but have a few other prio’s first with TFE.

Can’t find them, so no I guess
(There are triggercard flowtags however, mostly timer name and timer duration. And it can be any existing timer. I guess it’s saved “in app” on disk somewhere)

Also, every timer that ran at least once, gets registered as device, while you can install them (but it’s not needed). But, after installing one, still no global app tags to be found…

.
Running timers (via app configuration)

.
No hurries of course, they’re just some ideas

Edit
Interesting stuff I think:

HOMEYSCRIPT

In addition to the available flow cards, timers and stopwatches can also be controlled using HomeyScript.

For example, this script will stop all running timers:

	let app = await Homey.apps.getApp({id:'nl.fellownet.chronograph'});
	app.apiGet('/timers').then(result => {
		let timers = JSON.parse(result);
		timers.forEach(timer => {
			app.apiDelete('/timers/' + timer.id);
		});
	});

* GET /timers - retrieve a list of all active timers,
* GET /timers/:id - retrieve a single timer,
* PUT /timers/:id - pause or resume a timer,
* DELETE /timers/:id - stops a timer.
* GET /stopwatches - retrieve a list of all active stopwatches,
* GET /stopwatches/:id - retrieve a single stopwatch,
* PUT /stopwatches/:id - pause or resume a stopwatch,
* DELETE /stopwatches/:id - stops a stopwatches.
* GET /transitions - retrieve a list of all active transitions,
* GET /transitions/:id - retrieve a single transition,
* PUT /transitions/:id - pause or resume a transition,
* DELETE /transitions/:id - stops a transition.

Looks good. can’t wait to use it.
My homey is naughty
and unresponsive.
already rebooted no result.

And this error

[Arie_J_Godschalk]

This just means that the flows are not loaded yet.
Wait till the app is fully started and then open settings.

[HuisCHovens]

I just get that message no matter how long I wait.

[Arie_J_Godschalk]

You have advanced flows i assume?

[Arie_J_Godschalk]

Send me a diagnostic?
It’s in the app settings (or close by).

[HuisCHovens]

@Arie_J_Godschalk

You have advanced flows i assume?

Yes i have

Hi Guys, please help me. I found this in the app description, but can not squeeze out this feature:

“ * Have the Device Tile function as a Pushbutton (staying light/dark after clicked) but set Dark/Light on the Tile as status from a flow.”

There is no flow card to set the tile dark or bright, there is no flow card for “When tile is clicked”

What I miss out?

[Arie_J_Godschalk]

@Fac3

There is no flow card to set the tile dark or bright, there is no flow card for “When tile is clicked”

What I miss out?

Use Button 1, see the Show As options there and use push Button /button is pushed.

One sec, i’ll create one for you!

[Arie_J_Godschalk]

Okay, here we go:

Make sure you copy the whole text(!)

• Create an AVD, pick a name and icon. Icon will be replaced.
• Goto Repair (in Web, richt click repair)
• Goto Open Share Your Device
• Paste the TEF in the field and press Read Device.
• Press Save.
• Press Read Flows.
• Only replace the user with yourself.
• Press Update Text (it should be copied into your clipboard now).
• Click on the link for the Playground, paste the text into the field and press Run.

What do you have now:
A Device with a Tile that you can click, but it flashes back to the state it was in. It will trigger the flow, you will get a notification.
Also, in the flow that is now in your root, you will See a Set Button to Yes and a Set button to no.
Use them to make the device tile go light or dark.

I send you diagnostiek.

[Arie_J_Godschalk]

@HuisCHovens

Homey Pro 2019 version

Okay, solved in next version. Just a moment.
