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…

I do something similar. I am diabetic and Homey is supposed to warn me when my blood sugar is high or low. I use the Android app Automagic Premium.

On Android this is possible. Look here: [How To] Setup two-way communication between Homey and Android smartphone

Did you try Automation in iOS? Gives you the option to make a script that acts on eg a message from person X and (for example) activates a particular flow in Homey.

Thanks for the reply Peter, but I’m looking for something that can “read” an iPhone iOS push-notification which will then start a trigger in Homey.

Is there an app to use phone notifications in flows?
