Is there a way to send a websocket request from homey? You can’t do it using the normal GET/POST logic command. I need to connect to a local network address at say: wss://192.168.0.30:4243 Once connected I’d then like to fire messages and receive JSON back which I can parse and use for virtual devices. Does anyone know of an app or way this is possible? ---

~~I think you mean Webhooks? Advanced flows is the way to go, advanced flows has additional logic cards where a returned message can be used further in the flow. But if you don’t want to pay for advanced flows, and aren’t in a rush to upgrade to Homey pro (early 2023), as it isn’t SDKv3, then you can use the [HTTP request app](https://homey.app/a/com.internet). In the near future it might be possible that this app won’t be installable anymore, even on older Homey Pros.~~ I need to read more properly 😂 But there is no way a flow can do such a thing, you’ll have to create an app specifically for this, haven’t seen anything like that except for specifically certain brands that use about the same way. ---

No worries, thanks for the response 🙂 I thought as much. I’m looking at the app side of things but it’s slow going given my knowledge of JS! ---

Would it be possible using HomeyScript do you know? ---
