You missed this app I guess 🤗 > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook messenger](https://community.homey.app/t/48374): > > Hi all. I was looking for a way to make a Homey app for Signal messenger. After some days work I had it working on my PC and was about to port it to Homey. Unfortunately the Homey app always crashes when it starts up. This is probably caused by the very heavy package that is required to run a full client with all the encryption that Signal has. I tried reducing the package in size, but still Homey keeps crashing (and I used a Homey Pro for my trials). So for now I have stopped working on a fu… ---

Hi @Ad_van_Liempt . it doesn’t recognise your apiKey. Ask for an apiKey again and try this new one. ---

Hi Leon. I have tried to set up a device with the signal app, and received a 6 digit api key as instructed on the [callmebot.com](http://callmebot.com) site. But unfortunately I do not succeed in setting up the device, and get this message, it is the same when using my phone number in stead of my signalaccount. ![1000021521](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/29cde64545f290490788a04797732d3d7aa348ee.jpeg) Is it possible to get another apikey, or what do you advise me to do? What is the command to generate a new apikey? This is the log from the signalapp ![1000021523](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/a/aa408e5f5d6f41c5d62269c02d598b2e34bd4e56.jpeg) ---

Ik heb de oplossing. Als je aanmeld krijg je een Signal berichtje van calme Bot. Daar staat ook een URL in waarmee je een testbericht kunt sturen. In die url staat bij phone een lange reeks tussen = en &. Ik heb die reeks gekopieerd en bij Homey ingevuld bij telefoonnummer en dan werkt het wel. ---

Sorry! I think I was not awake enough yet. I found a solution. When you apply for the api key, you get the key and also a test link. Behind phone= you get a long string of characters. If you copy that and use that as the phone number in the Homey signal app, it works. At least it does for me. You need wat is between = and &. Below an example of the message. I replaced the string with xxxxx in this example. Hope you can get it working too. New APIkey created for CallMeBot Signal API! The APIKey created for you is: 0000 Congratulations! You can now send Signal messages from any devices,app,service! Use this URL to send a message:[https://signal.callmebot.com/signal/send.php?phone=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&apikey=00000&text=This+is+a+test](https://signal.callmebot.com/signal/send.php?phone=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&apikey=00000&text=This+is+a+test) ---

Hi, I am trying to move away from BigTech socials like WhatsApp. I allready used the Signal Homey App, but compared to the WhatsApp Homey app from Martijn Poppen, it lacks functionality. For example you cannot send messages to Groups in the Signal Homey App, though you are able to create groups in Signal (native app). Is this something I could bring to your attention and maybe plug as a feature request? If so, it would make it a lot easier to move away from Anti-European BigTech like WhatsApp (Meta) who sponsored people like JD Vance, in hope he will become the Next President. Though Signal is also American, it is a foundation with no political ties. There was no CEO of signal who bought a ticket at Mr Trumps inauguration, like the other big players did. ---
