Hi there, I want to get data from my Homey, via API.

I have made the flow below, according to this guide:

But as you see in the debug, i only get the homey verson and ID. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing apart from not using the different classes with your http request [HomeyAPIV3Local - Homey Web API](https://athombv.github.io/node-homey-api/HomeyAPIV3Local.html).

Oddly enough that is the way the server can be addressed and is in the example given in the API docs. It's part of a host name and not an IP address!!!

Bit of a frightening address though as it refers to an external domain to access a device internally and who knows what happens if you change the address or two devices have the same one (given lots of home routers default to 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 it must happen and be managed somehow).

Just hope it does not use ARP poisoning to determine location!
