[REQ] RSS feeds - app listing

techniman

Homey is a device that should make everything easier and automate as much as possible
why isn't' that philosophy then applied to the website, forum and app listing? 

I know Athom used a readymade forum solution, but even Vanilla Forums has a RSS option
Same goes for the app store, maybe even more so

Imagine having an RSS feed, we (Homey users)  could setup a flow,
IF > there is any new entry added to the "new app" feed THEN  flash the lights (or something)

I'm wondering why this was not implemented 
(if the page was a normal page I'd script something myself, but it does not seem to be the case)

Here you go @techniman https://forum.athom.com/discussions/feed.rss

And there is a RSS app in the app store, not yet with the functionality you described, but maybe you can extend it yourself: https://apps.athom.com/app/eu.jeroensomhorst.feedreader

Well that was quick (why did I miss that) 

Adding it to Homey is not a problem, there are more ways to skin a cat 
Either with the above mentioned app, IFTTT or something

thanks again 

just applied the same logic to the rest of the site 
https://forum.athom.com/categories/apps/feed.rss
works too :-)

Would you mind sharing your flows?
I can also put my efforts in, but why reinvent the wheel...?

techniman

Sorry no flow yet, the RSS app cannot be used (yet) as a trigger 
For now i use IFTTT to read the feed and notify me of a new entry

I will create an update in the future so that you can use the RSS app as a trigger.
