# Welcome to NS for Homey

**The NS app for Homey turns Dutch train data into something your home can react to.** Pin a station or a daily route as a Homey device, automate flows on departures, delays, cancellations, crowdedness or disruptions, and read it all back in Insights.

The app talks to the public NS APIs ([Reisinformatie API](https://apiportal.ns.nl/api-details#api=reisinformatie-api) and [Disruptions API](https://apiportal.ns.nl/api-details#api=Disruptions-Api)) using your own subscription key — your data stays yours.

## What you can do with it

* Get a notification 5 minutes before your last train of the night so you don't miss it.
* Turn on the lights when your train home leaves the station, dim them when it arrives at the next station.
* Have your speakers announce that the 8:19 to Utrecht is on track 5b instead of 5a.
* Automatically push your phone a warning when your usual commute has a disruption.
* Log delay minutes per route over time and visualise them in Homey Insights.

## Disclaimer

This is an unofficial, third-party Homey app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NS Groep N.V. Train data comes from the public NS API which is provided "as is" — accuracy and uptime are out of this app's control.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://homey-nederlandse-spoorwegen.gitbook.io/docs-en/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
