How do you debug apps?

[stefaanoyen]

Hi there,

I have a Homey Pro and a few Innova fancoils in my home. The community-made Innova fancoils app finds a few of them, but can’t find some fancoils.

I already tried contacting the developer, but he didn’t respond. That’s why I forked the app on Github and try to debug it with the assistance of ChatGPT (‘Athom Homey Pro Assistant’, a custom GPT made by petrichor.xyz and based on GPT-4o) I spent a few hours on it, but so far no luck. What (AI) tools do you use to debug Homey apps? I’m not a programmer, by the way, just a regular guy ; )

Thanks for your advice!

If so, how …
