There is a lot of confusion about how to install a beta/test app from the Athom store so here’s a little explanation.  
Unlike the [Homey Community App-Store](https://store.homey.community/), where u can choose a version to install…

 ![firefox_2020-12-24_22-10-51](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/5/d55411ddf6bf10c9dd03ad91f251816e0554af15.png)

In the Athom App-Store there is no possibility to choose another version other then the “stable” version.  
Now if there is a beta/test version available then there is an easy way to retreive that version.  
When going to the store and being at the correct app, like this one:

> **[ONVIF Camera](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.onvif/ONVIF-Camera/)**
>
> Use an ONVIF compatible camera so Homey can improve your home security

u will find the URL on top:  
`https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.onvif/ONVIF-Camera/`

Now, when u add **test** to that URL u will find the beta/test app of that very same app.  
The URL will then look like this:  
`https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.onvif/ONVIF-Camera/test`

And then there is ur beta/test app:

> **[ONVIF Camera](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.onvif/ONVIF-Camera/test/)**
>
> Use an ONVIF compatible camera so Homey can improve your home security

That’s all there is to it to find the beta/test apps, cheers!

Don’t forget the community store check app. It gives a clear overview from which apps a test/beta app is avail.

What should you do when there is no stable version in the store yet and you want a test version available to some users?
