Control Your Home, Your Way

NOTE: I am not a developer and did not write this code. It has been migrated from earlier work through AI-assisted development (Vibe coded), with Claude Sonnet 4.5 serving as the primary developer. I provided Claude.ai with the scope and requirements, testing and feedback. The results it has delivered are quite good from a functional point of view.

I am highly experienced with smart home platforms and devices, but not with coding. Additionally, I’m fairly new to Homey. I tested this app to the best of my abilities and looked at the generated output, but there could be bugs or patches that wouldn’t make sense to someone who has the skills to do better.

It is not possible for me personally to help with any bugs or feature enhancements without continuing to rely on an LLM.

Review from experienced developers and pull requests are welcome, and would be greatly appreciated as a service to the community.
