Much better like this! Awesome job šŸ„³. But why should I for example install Heimdall from the unofficial appstore? ---

At this point versions are still the same however there are apps out there that stopped supplying updates to the official store and new updates can be found here. I do understand the confusion though. ---

Thanks @Henk_Renting very much appreciated @M_a_r_c_o, Dark mode is activated by the OS. If the OS supports it, the website supports it. I can change my OS to ā€˜lightā€™ ā€˜darkā€™ and ā€˜autoā€™ (MacOS) no clue for Windows to be honest but itā€™s a CSS media query ---

Great initiative! When my ā€˜personal appsā€™ are better tested, I will upload a few. Meanwhile, if somebody would make a reliable app for Google Chromecast, instead of the always crashing Athom app, would be much appreciated ---

The chromecast app works fine for me. But Iā€™m curious. What are you using it for to make the app crash? ---

It doesnā€™t really crash, but the devices ā€˜are not availableā€™ from time to time. I use the chromecast/ nest hub to play notifications (doorbell, countdown for alarmsystem, text to speech for pronouncing status of alarm system,ā€¦) ---

Iā€™ve start using the community app store. I donā€™t have much experience with Homey, soo Iā€™m sorry for my lack of knowledge. I have few questions. When a update is available, I have to manually update the app? And by doing this all my devices and flows will remain untouched? Or does it need new configuration? Also if i need to restore a backup will the devices and flows be backed up from this apps that where download from the community store? Thank you. ---

Hi @Ricardo_Nunes, Thanks for trying out my store. Let me try to answer your questions šŸ™‚ 1. When an update is available, I have to manually update the app? Apps installed by the Homey Community Store donā€™t yet(!) auto update. This means for the time being, you will need to manually check for updates. However, I hope to release a new update for the Store that will add the auto-update feature šŸ˜‰ 1. Do my devices and flows remain untouched? Short answer, yes. However, it is a bit more complex that that, if an app changed the way their flows and devices work, it might break your flows. This is, however, completely unrelated to the Homey Community Store and can happen to apps in the official store as well. Most app developers keep this in mind and wonā€™t try to actively break your devices and flows. 1. If I need to restore a backup will the devices and flows be backed up from this apps that where downloaded from the community store? To be completely honest, I have no clue. I have not yet tried to restore a backup as I just donā€™t trust the entire backup system (it isnā€™t backing things up as I would have liked). The backup does not restore apps that are installed via the Homey Communtiy Store and I just donā€™t know what will happen with devices/flows connected to these apps. I am not willing to test this as I only have one Homey and that is my production Homey. I donā€™t want my partner to complain stuff isnā€™t working againā€¦ She isnā€™t a fan of automation already haha. Maybe other members can answer this question for you? @Rocodamelshekima perhaps? If you have any other questions or need help, just let me know šŸ™‚ ---

> [@MaxvandeLaar](#): > > @Rocodamelsheki perhaps? Sorry m8, not using the backup myself. And the backup does not restore apps btw. It just downloads newest version from the Athom Appstore. And that is the main reason am not using the backup. Itā€™s not about the 10 euroā€™s per year, itā€™s about i want my apps/flows/devices backed up as they were.
