Alright, alright, the title is a bit of a click-bait.
BUT, I was able to create a Homey Script that generates triggers. The script generates an advanced Flow, which in turn has generates trigger cards.
This is where my question started
I think it’s not the cleanest way to work, but I did reach my goal. And that was to generate a triggers for devices. This way, if you have about 15 settings, you don’t have to manually click and create the flow. Why? If I have 15 scenes and I change my logic I might have to recreate 15 scenes * 4 triggers = 60 cards… Yeah, no way.
This way I can rethink my logic and re-generate the whole flow. I would still have preferred to have this all in HS but hey, it’s a start.
This is the generated flow:
And this is part of 3 Homey Scripts for the actions.
let settings = await Homey.apps.getApp({ id: 'com.athom.homeyscript' })
.then(homeyScript => { return homeyScript.apiPost('script/11e33a58-bc05-4110-993e-da8759dec050/run'); });
settings = settings.returns;
const cardDistXBase = 0;
const cardDistX = 400;
const cardDistYBase = 100;
const cardDistY = 120;
const scriptID = '58fbd2be-15ac-4cac-81ce-61a8ff9064c5';
const globalSettings = settings['global'];
let flowObject = {
advancedflow: {

const addMotionTriggerCard = (sceneIndex, sceneKey, scene, sensorID, command) => {
flowObject.advancedflow.cards[`${sceneIndex}-${sceneKey.toLowerCase().replaceAll(' ', '-')}-${sensorID}-${command}`] = {

id: `homey:device:${sensorID}:alarm_motion_${(command === 'on').toString()}`,

x: cardDistXBase + (colIndex * cardDistX),

Yes, it’s messy as hell. But that’s best I could do in my lunch-break 
I’ll clean up the code later.
