Hello,

I want to make my own dashboard. I can build website from scratch, but i have seriously no idea where to start 🙂

Does anybody know if there is a example of a (php) code, to trigger capability’s off added devices.  
Or even a basic code that logs in into my Homey en can show the capability-parameters of devices.

I mean device capability’s like this:

Thank you so much for your time!
