What kind of category/signal(s) would the app use:
Zigbee
Is there an (public) API / documentation / manual(s) or known (other) implementations (like Blogs/Github etc)?
No Official API
Private cloud API (as used in Node-RED or gduteil integration).
Node-RED users managed to access Cozytouch data using Atlantic’s cloud API, simulating OAuth2 authentication (grant_type=password), and then retrieving a JWT token to query the API. These make it possible to read data (temperature, states, etc.) from connected equipment such as heating or air conditioning.
Are you willing to loan or donate to a developer?
Yes, donate money €, Yes, if the application is maintained in the long term, not if it is an app without any support

Apperently Somfy uses its own Zigbee network but there is a way to let the device pair with other regular Zigbee networks (See Reddit thread above):
“I have been able to pair a Sonesse2 motor with zigbee2mqtt, and the trick was so simple that I can´t even believe it, I just had to hold the button of the blind for 10 seconds (instead of 5 seconds the manual says) and the blind did 2 consecutive jogs and it immediately joined the zigbee network. It seems by default the blind creates its own zigbee network, and by holding the button longer it enters a different pairing mode to join other networks”.
I tried this method using the “Somfy Sonesse2 28 Wirefree Zigbee, 2Nm/20tpm, Li-ion’ device and it connected to my Homey Pro but was recognized as a ‘Unknown’ device’ that only had one operation ( = on/off) that was not supported. So it did not do anything. But it connected! So my guess/hope is that adding some usefull functionality (most usefull is just up and down) should hopelfully not be very difficult.

It depends on if it can be successfull made

Why I do want to have the app: In my Homey I have my car integrated and my car charger integrated. The only data I need for now from Bliq is the current battery level of the home battery. When this level reaches for example 80% I want to charge the car to decrease the battery level. So the trigger should execute a Homey flow that starts charging the car.
If we can extract more data from the energy management system, it will be ok ofcourse.

**Are you willing to loan or donate to a developer?**
- Yes, loan a device
- Yes, donate money €/$/£
**Extra information:**
there is no app with direct integration
**Are you willing to loan or donate to a developer?**
- Yes for donation / No for hardware / software since a Proxmox community edition exists and can be used by anyone.

I think it can be helpful to automatically start VMs or Containers based on different integration with Homey such as presence-based automation, energy price or using Zigbee buttons.
Here are some example how it could be used (some of them have existing solutions or partial solutions but having all integrated with Homey would make it much better):
starting virtualized development environment based on various homey trigger
stopping the lab when nobody is home
Energy-Aware scheduling for the lab: stopping some VMs / Containers when the energy price is getting higher
pressing a Zigbee button to start the cluster
starting the VM / container with Plex or Jellyfin based on presence sensors or when the smart plug for the TV detects energy consumption and switch off that same VM / Container when done.
Trigger a VM / Container backup if unauthorized access is detected (e.g., door sensor + no presence)

I am trying to add a simple outdoor siren to my Homey ecosystem so that it can be activated when my outdoor motion sensors detect movement and I am not at home. I tried searching the apps to see if there was anything available, but these products are difficult to find as they are no longer on the market (e.g. Popp). Since the Ring by Amazon siren offers an economic and easily available alternative, it would be great to be able to integrate this device directly into Homey Pro/Mini/Self using Z-wave. I purchased one and managed to connect it to my Homey Self through Homey Bridge, but once connected as a generic Z-wave ON/OFF device, it does not function.
ELCO (i.e ELCO AEROTOP S.2) from ELCO Heating Solutions
What is/are the device(s)/service for type:
Heat pump / Heating (Air-to-Water) + Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
What kind of category/signal(s) would the app use:
IP (Local/Cloud/WiFi);
Local IP (Modbus TCP on LAN)
Is there an (public) API / documentation / manual(s) or known (other) implementations (like Blogs/Github etc)?
Not a public “web API”, but Modbus TCP is a standard industrial protocol.
ELCO provides Modbus register documentation for installations using Modbus TCP (typically available via installer documentation / on request from ELCO or heating installer).
Other implementations exist in the home automation world via generic Modbus integrations (e.g. Home Assistant Modbus TCP), but there is no dedicated Homey app for ELCO Aerotop S2.
Are you willing to loan or donate to a developer?
As it will be difficult to loan a heat pump, I am willing to donate money.
Extra information:
Goal is a Homey Pro community app dedicated to ELCO Aerotop S2 over Modbus TCP (local only).
Minimum viable features: read-only sensors (outdoor temp, flow/return temp, DHW temp, operating mode, compressor status, alarm/fault).
Optional controls (if registers allow): enable/disable heating and DHW, adjust setpoints/curve offset.
