Pokemon Go

Based on the Pokemon Go API a colleague of mine created a notification system for Slack. You'll get a notification in Slack when a new Pokemon spawns. Pretty cool already, but how awesome would it be if Homey tells me when there is a Pokemon nearby 
I edited the script a bit and used the webhook manager to send the data to Homey. The result:
How it works:

So you need to run the Python code on another device, but because it uses the Webhook Manager I thought this would be the best category to post it in

About the color thing: Write 150 (or 151 if Mew is included) flows that check for the pokemon name! Or an app
On a more serious note: With the rewrite the guys at Athom are doing with the flows, it should be possible to use variables as input for colors.
I want to group them by 10 colors (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pokémon_by_color). So it are only 10 flows. That is doable
