That did the trick! I was foolish enough to close the homey app instead of updating the http in the homey app! ---

Thank you all for inputting into this thread! I made a Shortcut with a webhook post to trigger my testflow and it works. Now I can experiment to use Shortcuts to communicate to Homey! I use Webhook Manager Jorden Chamid v0.2.4 - 25.10.17 instead, as I cannot install HTTP request flow cards Erik van Dongen v2.0.5 - 13.01.19 because of “not compatible” (not on V2 yet…). Are the two apps comparable? ---

What’s the use of webhook post? Is that for use with Siri as well? ---

I made a Shortcut as @robertklep his example (which you may activate with a siri speech command). In the settings of the Homey webhooks app I found which url to include in the apple shortcut (Opdrachten), which is quite different from the url you include to activate through the “http request” app. ---

Also, from what I know, you need to create web hooks first (via [https://developer.athom.com/docs/apps/tutorial-Webhooks.html](https://developer.athom.com/docs/apps/tutorial-Webhooks.html)). It’s less flexible than the HTTP Request Flow app. ---

I made a tutorial for this, look at [[TUTORIAL] Using Siri/Shortcuts for activating flows (with pics!)](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-using-siri-shortcuts-for-activating-flows-with-pics/7473) ---

On nr.3 hé Google vraag Homey … is not needed anymore. You just say oké Google zet woonkamerlichten aan, or say hé Google zet tv slaapkamer aan. Here you may use the Google home mini or Sonos One. ---
