Add an import/ export flow
1 Like
Can you elaborate a bit; what do you mean?
For exemple.
It should be great to add a bouton ton import / export flow (advance or normal) to the community.
When you import the flow:
- Add a screen to allow the installation of the apps not yet installed but required to use the flow to be imported.
- Add a screen to map devices between the devices in the original flow between the device in your homey pro

Export/import (and thus share) functionality for Advanced flow is possible using the app Device Capabilities.
It’s quite sophisticated, during the import process, it can replace the original device cards with yours, dito for variables.
Standard flows are (to me) pretty easy to recreate from an example. But that’s just me.

Like @Peter_Kawa said: the Device Capabilities app has exactly that functionality the way you describe 
@Peter_Kawa and @Arie_J_Godschalk, of course, you are both absolutely right, but it would be great if it were possible to share flows without an additional app. I don’t like (forced) dependencies.
In addition, you have forgotten Homey Cloud/Bridge users who cannot use the DC app.
Yeah @DirkG ,
I totally agree it would be way better if it’s a default functionality.
Agreed! But I don’t see it happen.
I’m glad we have skillfull enthusiasts like Arie and all other community developers, otherwise I consider Homey way too limited (looking at price/possibilities ratio).
The community devs make Homey interesting and usable imho.
Just click ALT when opening the flow submenu and choose export …
export in JSON: I use a C# app to parse these “.homeystdflow” and “homeyadvflow” files.
It’s also so nice that we can just read text and search instead of browsing through not always clear pages with flows. So thank you for bringing this to the attention of Athom/Homey.
