You can star devices and they’ll show up at the top. ---

For now this is macOS only. But since I’ve mapped the whole Homey API to Swift, an Apple TV app might become a reality … soonish? 👀 As for GitHub repository, I might open it up in the future, but for now it’ll be closed-source. Let’s see how it goes. ---

Wow, very cool! My first findings, hope that helps: Connection via cloud works fine, but I see this error message: ![Screenshot 2026-02-04 19.00.37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/b/6b5f6f6a4b6abb04facd791facf350a30a9c4908.png) when I try to connect locally, same error mesage and it is not working anyhow. I always started a reconnect. and now a new error message: ![Screenshot 2026-02-06 20.13.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/9/4900f6e8b7da71108c98498d16b04977d2044d72.png) ---

This beta is full??? is it not possible to test anymore? ---

I’m waiting for Homey to raise the amount of people I can have on the app. It’s currently limited to 100. ---

Either that or just release it publicly, we could always give you feedback anyways. ---

The problem is that the OAuth key you get from Athom when you build an app that uses the Web API is limited to 100 users. I requested an increase, but still waiting on the decission. There’s other ways (private API keys), but this “Login with Homey” flow has the least friction. ---

Good news! The fine folks at Homey approved the API increase. Apple is currently reviewing the final version of the app. ---

A new feature request: Integrate a button to open the homey app in a browser to edit devices or flows. A kind of shortcut thus I don’t have to go to the browser and open it manually. If you know what i mean. ---
