Hello guys,
This topic can be used for support questions, feature suggestions and bug reports related to the Mealie app.
Mealie is a self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner. With this app you can bring your meal plan into Homey, so you can see what’s on the menu today without opening Mealie, and let your flows plan meals or fill your shopping list.
In the current version the app supports:
- A “Meal plan” device, showing today’s breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- A dashboard widget showing today’s meals, with the recipe pictures.
- Flow triggers and conditions: a trigger when today’s breakfast, lunch or dinner changes (with the meal name as a tag), and a condition to check whether a meal is planned today.
- Flow actions: plan a recipe, a random recipe or a free-text note on a day of your choice, add an item to a shopping list, add all ingredients of a recipe to a shopping list, and refresh from Mealie.
To connect, you need a Mealie server (version 2 or newer) and an API token, which you can create in Mealie under your profile > API Tokens. The app talks directly to your server over your network, so Homey and the server must be able to reach each other. Because of this, the app is only available for Homey Pro. A few things to be aware of: servers with a self-signed certificate are not supported (plain http on your LAN or a trusted certificate does work), and the app needs Homey 12.1.0 or newer because of the widget.
The app itself can be found in the Homey store on the following locations:
Stable version: Mealie | Homey (not yet available)
Test version: Mealie | Homey (use at own risk)
I’ve developed this app in a full open-source mindset, the source code is available under a GPL-license, meaning that everyone is allowed to use it provided that they release their source code under a GPL-compliant license. You can find the source code of the application in my GitLab repository at:
Functor Solutions / Homey / Mealie · GitLab
Anyone is free to contribute towards the app, you can simply fork the repository on GitLab and create a merge request with your changes, I’ll review them and most likely include them as part of the app.
This app is an independent integration and is not affiliated with the Mealie project.
If you want, you can buy me a beer, or send me a donation using:
I really hope you enjoy the app, and any feedback is always welcome! I try to respond to all requests as soon as possible, but be aware that I have a regular job too, which might imply that sometimes it takes a bit longer than on other times.
