Hi,

I’ve been using Homey for years now and I am looking for other ways to integrate e.g. HomePod mini’s into my smart setup.

Idea:  
I want to trigger a flow in homey using the [CLOUDID.connect.athom.com/api/manager/logic/webhook/EVENT?tag=TAG](http://CLOUDID.connect.athom.com/api/manager/logic/webhook/EVENT?tag=TAG) URL scheme form an IOS shortcut and receive the result from a homey script back in JSON format. So I can make the HomePod for example speak out which windows are open or which lights are on.

What flow cards do I need to do this, all help is appreciated!

Not exactly the same situation but it shows how to receive incoming web requests, have a look here:

> [@Expand z-wave network via wifi](https://community.homey.app/t/expand-z-wave-network-via-wifi/63512/9):

> Let’s assume you have a hallway with multiple motion sensors on Homey One and want to use them on Homey Two. Flow on Homey One This flow sends a HTTP Get request to the other Homey, notice the hZoneActive?tag=0 Flow on Homey Two This flow receives the hZoneActive GET request and sets the tag from the request in the measure\_luminance value of a Virtual Motion Sensor and sets the alarm\_motion value of that sensor to true These flows handles the Motion sensor going inactive…

The issue is that you can’t return anything from a webhook ☹

Thanks, but this doesn’t solve my question. It’s only about requesting but nog receiving

Maybe you can find it in the Micro-Webserver?
