Hi, I am using Homey combined with Logitech Harmony Hub for additional IR support. On switch of a button on my remote I am launching activities in the Harmony Hub, e.g. start AV player, sattelite box, game console, etc. Since I would like to use the same buttons to switch between those sources, I have a challenge with including my projector in the Harmony activity. The harmony switches all devices off when ending an activity, and switching on/off the projector takes too long. This is where I wanted to utilize the Homey flows (and also to dim lights and close curtains). I have created a flow that identifies the start of a harmony activity. It then launches another flow that will start the projector (and others in future). I am using a separate flow for this to include other functionalities in future (not relevant here). The issue is that the projector starts perfectly when I launch the 2nd flow manually. However when the flow is launched by the first flow the projector is not started. Any other activity that I include in the 2nd flow work fine (E.g switch on lights, send notification). Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? ---

Also, use the test button to identify any issues. ---

I have cleaned these flows, to exclude any other influences. Still same issue. The second flow works fine using the test button. ---

I had added notifications in booth flows. Both notifications got sent. I even had switch light on in the second and that worked, only the switch projector on fails. And it only fails when called from the other flow. ---

I am using the Harmony app to switch on the projector. ---

Your last question triggered the solution. For Harmony there are actually 2 apps, the Harmony activity app and the Harmony device app. I was using the the activity app for both. So when a certain activity is started launch flow that starts another activity (switch on projector). I have now changed the second step in to start projector using the Harmony device app. This works perfectly! Thanks for your support!
