Hi all, I am wondering if there is an app that can catch and interpret phone notifications, so I can use them in a flow. Example: I own a security cam that does not talk to Homey, but obviously it does send notifications through its own app to my phone. So my idea would be: The camera sees a per…

Is there an app to use phone notifications in flows?
