Hi, I realised that the latest version of the Yale lock app had begun to mass spam my timeline as shown in the attachment. How do I go about: 1. Mass deleting those messages? 2. Prevent the app from creating messages? Thanks! ![Screenshot_20190326-192508_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/7/72e8acd8c05a8a7b9e4f897e70e18cd979b978fc.jpeg) ---

I did not know that thanks, would be really useful to be able to clear all Notifications from the Home screen though! ---

Thanks. I see there is a way to block notifications from “security” category completely. But is there a way to block just an app? ---

Did you ever find a way to block an app from sending notifications? My timeline gets spammed by my house battery and especially my robot lawnmower having low battery several times a day. ---

Hit the cogwheel next to the timeline (mobile app) Hit a category and turn notifications on or off. And / or, you can delete all notifications per category in one go. > ![Screenshot_20230915-185143_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/2/b2165dd6876e2c6753beb7b1e1d61fa2b8441afa.jpeg) > ![Screenshot_20230915-185213_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/a/2a86c88ee27cef3fdb9e0d37edc862fa94aa19c4.jpeg) ---

Thank you. I have now blocked notifications from “Energy”. But it would be nice to be able to block individual apps, or even individual notifications from apps. ---

YW! As you can see, I’ve 5 listed apps I can mute, so it’s possible to control individual apps here. So I guess you’d ask the developer for adding the app as timeline category, instead of just sending notifications using the common ‘apps’ category. > [@Soren\_Johansen](#): > > or even individual notifications from apps. I think that’s not possible. For this you should check with the app developer, maybe he/she can limit some (kind of) notifications. > [@Soren\_Johansen](#): > > lawnmower having low battery This is standard Homey alert. Batteries getting less than 20% will generate a notification, AFAIK app developers have no control over this. _However, you can mute notifications of the **Energy** category for ALL battery levels_, but then you’ll have to create flows or use a script to alert for other low battery levels from which you’d like to see alerts. > [@The Flow Exchange(r) - Exchange Your Flows with Others!](https://community.homey.app/t/the-flow-exchange-r-exchange-your-flows-with-others/68981/36): > > Send a report with all battery levels When you’d like to receive an overview, with the battery levels of all battery powered Homey devices Apps used: [HomeyScript](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.athom.homeyscript)[CallMeBot](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.callmebot/) - You can replace it with your own messaging app [Email sender](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/email.sender) - Optional - just an example messaging app you can use HomeyScript code used (it’s included in the flow): (Updated @ March 2nd 2025) const devicesObject = await Homey.devices.getDevices({ filter: { class: 'sensor' … Of course for Home batteries, lawn mowers, robovacs → i.o.w. all rechargeable machines, it should be possible to mute the buiod-in lowbat notifications by the user, or to set the threshold, like 0%
