Hi, is it possible to get Homey’s model number from within a Homey app (without API permission)?

I have some check in one of my apps. I can give you an example this evening.

I have already found platformVersion, but not the model number yet

I also need the model number (specifically if it’s a Pro or a SHS). I’m getting lots of crashes on my apps that I can’t reproduce so I need to know where they occur (since I only have a Pro2019)

You get it in crash mails.

And I’m sure it’s also visible in developer/app page in crash details.

FWIW The SysInternals app somehow determines the model ID, dev Geurt Dijker might be able to tell you more about it.

.

Found by searching the Audit app log

That app has the `homey:manager:api` permission, so that’s how it determines it

But the solution of @RonnyW is great, I didn’t know that the crash reports also contained the model number.

That’s just weird, needing full access to just get the model ID.

I think I was wrong with using model ID. I only use

```auto
if (this.homey.platform == "local"){

```

to check if it’s a Homey or Container (used for HP23/26 with `homey app run` without the `-r` parameter) to init the debugger correctly for both.  
like this:

```auto
		if (process.env.DEBUG === '1'){
			if (this.homey.platform == "local"){
				try{ 
					require('inspector').waitForDebugger();
				}
				catch(error){
					require('inspector').open(9901, '0.0.0.0', true);
				}
			}
		}

```

PS: I asked Athom to extend the developer/app details to show model ID in crash log list. Let’s wait for an answer if that’s possible because it’s a cumulated list.
