The AI built a script that sends my delivery alerts to Homey

His weekly package delivery came with no delivery notice, and the couriers did not ring the bell. The AI built a small API script that uses the tracking link and signals his Homey, so he gets the alerts he wants.

How it works

  1. The AI builds an API script that uses his tracking link
  2. The script sends a signal to Homey when there is news
  3. Homey sends him the notifications he wants

Why it’s worth knowing

The delivery company never told him a package had come. A small script the AI built now watches the tracking link and pings his smart home instead.
