Using Siri for flow activation

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). 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!)

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.
