Image Tokens for apps

Veldkornet

I see in Homey 1.5.0 there is support for image tokens.

Is this something I can see somewhere? I've been using the "Image Grabber" app until now to create the image tokens... can I now do it differently in 1.5.0? Where can I find them in flows?

Apps need to build support for it, Athom only makes it available in the core but more information about it can be found at developers.athom.com

Capture a image and send it as a image for example to your telegram (Synology surveillance app can do this in combination with the app image grabber both in the app store ) 

It's a start for sending webcam images for example

To be precise, the image tokens my apps (Synology and Image Grabber) create are not the same as the image tokens Athom introduced in 1.5.0. I do think that they got the idea from me, but made it available as a standard now. I will soon update my apps to match this (better) standard.

Nice, I already experimented with the new image token in the doorbird app but found out there is no support for it yet. Having support for it in the Telegram app would be nice.
