Deleting Timeline notifications

Questions & Help
1

Timeline notifications can cause the Homey app to crash/slow down. @Caseda gave me this hint. Therefore i made a flow which checks every 7 days if the timeline notifications exceeds 250 lines. In that case the notifications will be deleted.

await Homey.notifications.getNotifications()
  .then(result => tmp = Object.keys(result).length, 'Notifications')
  .catch(err => {log('Failed: Getting Notifications')});

if(tmp >= 250)
{
await Homey.notifications.deleteNotifications()

await Homey.flow.runFlowCardAction({
uri: 'homey:manager:notifications',
id: 'create_notification',
args: {
text: 'Timeline notifications exceeded 250 lines. Total amount of notifications: ' +tmp},
});
}

Enter @ the THEN part in the homeyscript flowcard Run a script the above script.

Wait, what? You are saying it is easy AF to auto-cap the timeline messages?? Looking for that since I own a Homey man!
There was an app though, but that one didn’t work for me.

I didn’t think HomeyScript had the privileges to delete notifications.

But it will be (officially) fixed soon anyway, little birdie told me that.

Which means this will be not possible in the future?

It indeed doesn’t actually delete them yet, but if it will in time (soon™) I’ll be happy anyway :wink:

Using for this purpose Timeline Manager2 - Homey Community Store - after install, it’s required to setup Web Api settings / Bearer Token.

HCS is not yet supported on HP2023 :frowning:

Yes, you can add apps by CLI.
Have already downloaded some apps myself from the HCS, and succesfully installed them by CLI.
Workes like a charm…!
