Hi! Long time Homey user, first time asker I have been searching around a bit but could not find an answer that i felt matched my question;
I work as a firefighter and when i’m on duty i am usually at home and then drive to the fire station. There can of course be a call in the middle of the night so i would like to make Homey turn on the lights for me (and maybe som other stuff). I always wear a pager where i get all my calls but i also get a notification in my phone, is there a way to start a flow when i recieve a notification from an external app? Using Android devices (Samsung)
Yes you can using Macrodroid sending a webhook.
Example:
Translated:
Required phone apps:
MacroDroid
KNVB Orange (read: your app which sends the notifications)
Create a new macro with Macrodroid.
Triggers:
Add a trigger, go to “Device event” > “Notification”, choose “Receive notification”, select “choose app(s)”, select the KNVB Orange app;
The trigger is: Notification received. Contains: ]-
Actions:
IF
Notification present. Contains: [1]- (app: KNVB Oranje)
(The following is optional)
OR
Notification present. Contains: [2]- (app: KNVB Orange)
OR
Notification present. Contains: [3]- (app: KNVB Oranje)
OR
Notification present. Contains: [4]- (app: KNVB Oranje)
OR
Notification present. Contains: [5]- (app: KNVB Oranje)
… etcetera for even higher scores.
