I want to call a script from wihtin another script.  
I tried this, no errors but also the script called is not executed. I can’t figure out what’s wrong with the code.

let HomeyScript= await Homey.apps.getApp({id:“com.athom.homeyscript/”});  
HomeyScript.apiPost({script:“reset-testvars/run”});

I also need to pass some parameters, but tried the simple version first.  
Tried several variations on the syntax, but no luck. What am I missing ?  
Any help appreciated.  
Thanks Theo

I think HomeyScript does not have permission for HomeyScript? (This would be true by default).

However, you can execute a HomeyScript flowcard with the correct arguments: homey.flows.runFlowcard (or something like that 😉 )

Open the list of scripts on [https://my.homey.app](https://my.homey.app), open your browser’s developer console, open the “Network” tag, reload the page, then look at the response for the request to `/api/app/com.athom.homeyscript/script`
