Found something: Probably Twan just needs to put the word `location` after `?tag=` in the URL: `https://webhook.homey.app/640xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/twan?tag=location` Then selectable location parameter options should appear somehow đŸ€Ș Just like the example with “aangepaste datum” > ![1000033752](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/3/336258d1559049918744d6c4fe333ce540861902.jpeg) Full explanation: > **[Request your first API in Shortcuts on iPhone or iPad](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/shortcuts/apd58d46713f/ios)** > > To request your first API in Shortcuts, you create the URL that points at the API “endpoint” that you want to talk to and then pass that URL to the “Get Contents of URL” action.

How i get the coords from IOS Open Shortcuts or Opdrachten Create a shortcut : Gps 1 then the follow shortcut ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/f/ef1a9a20558966b40133390d6cf5ea8b272d83af.png) after the 300 seconds card also add a card : open shortcut GPS2 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/8/28f624c9faa1c2ad5e8056a79af4ff9ad35f41a9.png) Duplicate Gps1 to Gps 2 and change there the last step to Gps 1 so you create a loop where every 5 minutes the coords will send to homey ---

Hi Helmut, I tried the same shortcuts but it seems like if the phone is locked the loop stops and Homey does not receive updates. I set the delay to 180 sec but nothing. If I try while the phone is unlocked it works. Do you have the same issue? I checked and both the shortcuts have the permission to run with locked screen. ---

It’s a flow issue: From what I remember we cannot use tags from multiple trigger cards. Maybe it shows an error when you test run one of the trigger cards. A workaround would be to add a step, and store the tag contents into a variable first. Then trigger the “route samenvatting” card with 2 “a variable has changed” cards, one for Rita and one for Danny. ---

Yes, indeed that seems to be the issue. Adapted the flow and now seems to work as expected. Will test tomorrow. Tks! ---

No doesn’t work
 the flow looks now as : ![Screenshot Here Free 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/2/52d460bd4d3f277d5a26612aa67de2b74607e1e4.jpeg) The map creation seems to work sometimes but most of the time I get for all 3 actions (map, address, distance) a “request failed status code 429” and the address and distance are never updated.

And when it sometimes doesn’t work during normal daily use, consider to decrease the interval of sending the webhook. ---

well, if you receive every minute a webhook from 2 devices (in order to calculate the distance, fetch the 2 locations on the map and translate to the adresses (as done on the depicted flow) then you have 8640 requests/day. ---

Hmm a 1000 calls is 1 call every 1.4 minute? To me that’s pretty generous for a free service. This app is not (meant to be) a ‘real time’ home/away system, not sure if you agree on that. I think you could use an interval of 4 minutes. When driving 130km/h, it sends the location every 8 - 10 km’s. When driving 50km/h it’s less than 4 km’s. Also I guess this app + free API plan was meant for 1 user. With your plans of using it, you’d buy a API bundle to better match your needs imho. ---

Hey there! Maybe i dont understand it correctly but i am trying to use this app for the following actions but i am doing something wrong i think😅. The following 2 things im trying to do: 1. Using it to calculate the travel time from home to the adress in my calander(i use ical) and start automations from there (like setting a alarm, heating up my coffee maker, making it nice and warm in the morning) 2. Use it to calculate the travel time home when im away to stat flows with that (like making sure its hot when im home) But i get a adress from the icall app and i need a gps location do you know how to fix it? This would be a awesome addition to automate my home!
