> Hi, I am a new Homey user and making my first app. I created a device with a certain capability of which I can set the value from device.js. However, I calculated a value in app.js (copy & paste code of other existing app) which I want to write to the device capability. Probably it is an easy thing to do but I am missing something. Can someone help me?
