Hi all, I hope someone can point to a clever way of setting this up: I would like to have a “movie theatre” button that: - Closes windows (Velux Integra) - Closes down drapes (Velux Integra as well) - Set the right light on Hue lamps and lightstrips (Homey Pro) - Turn on an LG television (Homey Pro) - Play an opening tune on Sonos (Homey Pro) - …triggered from a click of a button on Aqara (Homey Pro) The thing is that Velux is only running Homekit via it’s own gateway, which works well - so I don’t wish to change to Somfy or something else. All the other stuff, I can do via Homey easily. I was thinking that the button could trigger automations on both Homey Pro and Homekit - but the button doesn’t like to have two hubs, so that idea failed. Also, setting the button up via HomeyKit or the experimental access doesn’t fly either. Is there a way to trigger a flow/automation across? Perhaps a trigger I haven’t thought of? Any ideas are warmly welcome - or an app for Velux’ latest gateway 🙂 Thanks in advance ---

I think there is a way with webhooks + homekit. Just found this topic on Reddit (homekit + ifttt, just replace the ifttt with homey 😉): > **[r/HomeKit - Can I use webhooks to add anything in IFTTT to HomeKit?](https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeKit/comments/evfnrb/can_i_use_webhooks_to_add_anything_in_ifttt_to/)** > > 5 votes and 7 comments so far on Reddit ---

You can use the app Homeykit. Make a virtual switch on Homey and add this switch to homekit trough Homeykit. Now you can make a flow when button pressed: virtual switch on. And in homekit you can say ‘When virtual switch is on… do this’ (same for off) ---

Well, thank you very much 8bt and Sjoerd1 - I actually did get it working just now. I tried out the experimentals from Homey directly (Homekit and Virtual), but that did not work very well. So, by using the Virtual Devices and HomeyKit apps, I got it flying by setting up a virtual mode and then add that virtual device in Homekit. When I press the Aqara button it first ignites the lighting, the Sonos sound plays and turns on the TV. From there Homekit picks it up, closes windows and drapes - voila: movie theatre mode completed. Perhaps I should get a popcorn machine…
