I wanted to make an addition to my app , but because of the limitations, I ended up making a web tool called Flow Doctor . It’s still in beta, but I think it’s getting pretty good. This is what you can do: Scans every flow and flags broken ones, missing apps, missing devices, and deprecated cards…

Isn’t is possible to just compare the latest version number on the Homey App Store (whether stable or test) to the installed version number? And if the installed version is lower, show that there is an update? Since the tool doesn’t update an app itself, the user can always decide if hee chooses to…

Thanks, I will as soon as my app have updates… Will let you know! :+1:t2::smiley:

Please do. I now have added the option to hide disabled flows: [image] I’ve also added a badge telling if it’s the test version or not: [image] …and link to the test-version page for those: [image]

The option to hide disabled flows is great, thx. Somehow it still doesn’t detect a new testverion for (i.e.) the Yolink app: [1000038011] There is currently a v1.0.21 testversion in the App Store, see LINK

Are you sure you actually have the test version installed? I install my app locally, so there’s nothing in the manifest to tell where it’s from. I then default to local, but I guess that’s a flaw - if the installed version is > app store && <= test, then it should be test. I could even add if it’s > …

Ok, so the manifest shows “appstore” or “devkit”, which translates into “official” or “side-loaded”. I’ll add a badge for side-loaded apps, and add both the app store and test versions for the app and links to both the normal and test versions. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any method (th…

Sorry, I am afraid I do not understand what you are trying to say. I am not a developer, so forgive me my ignorance. :wink: I have no sideloaded apps, btw. Most logical for me would be that if the tool recognizes a higher version in the Homey App Store (whether stable of test) than installed (whet…

Oh, sorry. Well, CORS means I cannot read the information from Athom’s pages, and there doesn’t seem to be an API call to get it unless the app is downloaded from the store. When I develop my app, I load it directly as part of testing and when I discover something didn’t work I continue that circl…

Great, thanks. I know the Changelog app from the Homey App Store does the same. I don’t know in which way… The Github is here . Perhaps that helps? Same applies to the App Version Checker; that one is not in the Homey App Store but here and Github here . Imho the latter works the best and never mis…

You can use apps-api.athom.com with several different endpoints, see the Athom Apps API Postman collection for all endpoints

CORS is disabled on that API, I also use it for the Homey App Store Notifier
