@Lukas_Kral, Hi Lukas, Maybe you should be aware that Twinky is not reading this forum thread. Also I am not a Twinkly employee, not can I speak on behalf of that company. I am maintaining this thread voluntarily. If you have a complaint to file please use their official support channels of their website. I cannot accelerate anything here. Sorry for the inconvinience. ---

Hi, i checked the update, is it only for the GEN2 devices the effects selection? 🙂 Because i can see the flowcard with my gen1 group but then it says no effects stored. ![Schermafbeelding 2023-12-13 om 14.26.39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/1/01affad1b7224349920107ec36ac3e10e52d4f0e.jpeg) ---

> [@Maurits](#): > > is it only for the GEN2 devices the effects selection? Homey app wise there is no restriction. It might be that the Tinwkly backend does not support it for Gen1. I will try to find something out on this. ---

Just reinstalled, also re-linked the lights but this version still does not work and it also no longer updates the status in Homey. While \<4.18 also did not work with command-sending (Homey\>Twinkly) it did keep track of the status of the lights (On/Off/Color etc)… ---

Okay i think its a GEN1 thing because its also not in the app. I also noticed that i cant set a color with a for GEN1 devices.

**UPDATE:** This is a bit unfortunate but I can confirm that effect selection is not supported for Gen1 devices. The effects data for Gen1 devices is not available on the api at this time. ---

I have informed Twinkly about the issues with Gen1 devices. However, Gen2 devices should work like a charm, strange that there are problems. If an error occurs those errors are now published to the Homey UI. For example, if you are sending another command before the previous command has finished processing you will get a “RATE LIMITED” error. That just as an example. ---

Hello I just tested and it works perfectly !! A big thank-you 😁👌🏻💪🏻 For those who can’t find the effects, FYI they are only visible if they are in the playlist, therefore in the controller’s memory. ---
