Setup

• Install Node.JS and Docker on your computer.

• Install Homey CLI using the following command :

npm install --global --no-optional homey

• Create a Homey app :

homey app create

• Inside your project directory, run the Homey app :

homey app run

⚠️ Docker must be running to run the app.

After you are logged in Homey CLI presents you with a list of available Homeys connected to your Athom account in the command-line window. Select the Homey on which you want to run the Homey App and it will start uploading and running automatically.

While the Homey App is running it will print debug logging to the command-line window. In order to quit running the Homey App, press CTRL + C and it will be uninstalled.

Useful commands

A number of commands which might be useful are listed below :

• Login with a different account using : homey logout / homey login
• Switch to a different Homey using : homey select
• Run a Homey App in development mode without keeping your command-line window open : homey app install
• Publish a Homey App to the Homey App Store : homey app publish

If you want to learn about all other functionalities provided by Homey CLI use the --help flag to list all possible commands :

homey --help
