Hi,

I’m building a self-hosted inventory/dashboard webapp that lists all my Flows (using the Homey Web API via homey-api npm package, OAuth with flow scope). Each Flow in my table links to the Homey Web App using this URL pattern:

> **[My Homey](https://my.homey.app/homeys//flows/)**
>
> Homey Web App

This works well for Standard Flows — clicking the link opens the Flow editor and highlights the Flow.

However, I have two questions about behavior I can’t resolve from the API docs:

1. **Advanced Flow editor** : The same URL pattern navigates to the correct Advanced Flow and highlights it in the list, but does NOT open the visual editor. The user has to double-click the highlighted Flow to actually open it. Is there a URL parameter or a different URL pattern that would open the Advanced Flow editor directly (similar to how Standard Flows open immediately)?

2. **Flow folders** : When a Flow is inside a folder, the link navigates correctly but the folder is NOT expanded — the user has to manually click the folder to see the highlighted Flow inside. Is there a way to link to a specific folder (so it opens/expands), or a URL parameter that would auto-expand the parent folder?

I understand these URL patterns are not officially documented — I derived them from the app/device settings URL pattern ( [My Homey](https://my.homey.app/homeys//settings/apps/) ). If there’s an official or better-supported way to deep-link to Flows, I’d love to know about it.

Thanks for any guidance!

It needs “/advanced” added:  
`https://my.homey.app/flows/advanced/[advanced_flow_id]/`

Like:  
`https://my.homey.app/flows/advanced/d4ac15d0-33b2-4ed7-aa2f-123456789/`

(you can find it by copying the URL of an advanced flow, and strip `/homeys/[homey_id]` from it)

About bullet “2. Flow Folders”:  
not that l know of. It’s one of those “never actually completed” stuff by Athom. They don’t like fine tuning stuff imho.
