Since recent Homey introduced to create flows via ChatGTP. However, if I try to do so I get the feedback it is not able to create the flow so it only gives me the instructions instead. What am I missing that this is not working for me?
Do you have the “Homey” ChatGPT app linked and added in the chat (+ symbol → Homey)?
Yes. Does it work with that?
No clue & not tested, but with this new app you seem to be able to actually build flows using AI?
Just ask it “Can you also create it for me?”. Maybe it will then try to use its tools, or tell you the reason why it doesn’t create them?
I asked and below the response:
I can’t create the flow yet, even though I can see parts of your Homey configuration.
The reason is that I currently only have access to read/list capabilities (I can inspect available Flow cards, devices, triggers, etc.), but I don’t have a Homey action available that allows me to create or modify flows. I would need a function such as “create_flow”, “update_flow”, or similar, and that isn’t exposed in the current Homey integration.
I can see that your Homey does have the standard trigger:
- The time is (homey:manager:cron:time_exactly)
So the flow itself is straightforward:
When
- The time is → 22:00
Then
- Turn off all lights
If the Homey integration later exposes flow-creation actions, I should be able to build it directly for you. Right now I can only tell you how to configure it manually, not write it into Homey itself.
I think you should contact Athom support in that case:
Probably something wrong with their MCP/ChatGPT app
Yes sir! Try it out if you want ![]()
I’d love to, but I’m (a bit) old (fashioned) and will miss out on all the fun in creating flows myself ![]()

Used Claude Chat dumping a screenshot in, got answer were the flow went wrong. Did correct the formulas in my google sheets too and added a graph. Calculated on the side my pond leak must be 1.5 mm or equivalent in 6cm x 2 mm crack

Hi,
I just tried to select Homey with the plug-in “+” button in ChatGpT app, just that and then validate.
After that, it responds that it’s now connected to my homey system…
I tried to ask to list all my homey devices and it works perfectly.
It tries by itself to make some advices on my flows and more…
So maybe juste try to select the homey pluging in the first prompt and after try to ask something related to your homey device.
Hope that will help.
Ps : sorry for my English ![]()
I had similar issues , this first time I created a flow it worked fine and then after that nothing but issues , like not being able to edit the flow, homey kept blocking chat gpt etc. Unfortunately I can’t remember exactly how I rectified it . I googled it and found a solution and had to jump through some hoops to get it to run ,
The problem is the homey app and connection , it has various security blocks , and only allows the app to do so many actions before locking , also it stops giving ChatGPT access within the same chat so you have to start a new chat for the link to start again.
The resolution was to make a new permanent link to homey in ChatGPT and use that instead of the homey app . As I said can’t quite remember the process , as there were a few hoops , but now it works brilliantly and uninterrupted.
In the image you see the permanent link I created
At least what really works pretty well is to create homescript and to let Analyse chatty an existing flow.
I successfully reduced some complex flow massively with the introduction of AI generated homeyscript snippets
