NU.nl news headlines
This app makes Homey read the headlines of the Dutch news site NU.nl. The app supports both a flow action card as general speech input from the Homey microphone. If the app was triggered through speed input from a smartphone, communication will continue through that device instead of the default internal Homey microphone and speaker.
If no news items have been found in the news feed, Homey will inform you about this. Homey pauses for a second between reading two news items.
