Because your smart home deserves to be a bit more funny.
This Homey app fetches random DadJokes from open APIs and makes them available in your Flows.
Yes, it’s exactly as useful as it sounds.
Fetch a:
- dadjoke from icanhazdadjoke.com (default)
- Chuck Norris fact from api.chucknorris.io
- joke from official-joke-api.appspot.com
Provides a global Flow tag:
dadjoke = contains the text of the most recently fetched joke
Tip: drag it from the tag list in the Flow editor — don’t type {{dadjoke}} manually.
Works great with:
- Push notifications
- TTS (text-to-speech)
- Chromecast text output
- Or anything else that could benefit from an unsolicited pun
Usage:
1. Create a Flow.
2. Add the action card "Fetch a dadjoke".
3. In your next action card (for example push message), insert the dadjoke tag via the tag icon.
4. Done. Laugh. Or groan. Most likely groan.
5. Note: the very first test run may return "null" — after that, the global tag is ready to deliver comedy gold.
