A wrong token suggests my Homey app is still conflicting with another connection for a valid active token, most likely the Twinkly smartphone app but it could also be Google Assistant for instance if you connected that as well. A new token is generated by my app when this error occurs but if there still is an open connection with the Twinkly smartphone app (or any another integration) they are fighting over who gets the valid active token and can communicate with the Twinkly devices. Since this is not actually an error there is no logging for it. You should make sure nothing else is trying to communicate with Twinkly in parallel.

By Wrong token I mean simply opening URL by [http://TWINKLYIPADDRESS/xled/v1/login](http://TWINKLYIPADDRESS/xled/v1/login) - btw, now when I tried that again, I get answer : {“code”:1000} … but thank you @Phuturist for your insights, if I’m the only person with problem then I guess there is nothing wrong for others.

Btw what is working, is turning the Twinkly lights off. But I can’t turn them back on. Really odd.

With new firmware 2.5.9(improved WiFi stability), I just got, seems it’s working again, interesting. I have just to wait after I close the original app for 2-5min then it’s working as suggested.

Like the app! Great to create flows and different schedules. On and off works fine. Demo works fine. I can’t get color working. I use Gen2, special editions (with rgb ánd warm white) Twinkly(string, curtain, icicle). Any idea?

Also like tot use the brightness . Anyone knows how to do this?  
I am not a developer. But is is possible to use HTTP get app to set color and/or brightness as a work around?

Not possible with the unofficial reversed engineered API, else it would have been added already.

The Homebridge plugin can manage the brightness, it is also based on the unofficial api

Maybe via [https://xled-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rest\_api.html#set-brightness](https://xled-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rest_api.html#set-brightness) it might be possible ?

Oh wow, guess that’s been added with a more recent firmware. I can probably work with that. I’ll look into it when I have some time.

</div>

since last update to twinkly version 3.0.3 the homey app itself is fucked up! (running homey on last v4.x and using twinkly gen 1 lights)  
When you try to open ‘devices’ (apparaten) tab the screen goes white  
Also when you try to open: more-\> apps -\> twinkly the same, screen goes white!

I have now NO optuion to control any of my devices or even to remove or disable the app which is causing this.

Please fix it (or give a hint how i can get back into devices)…

I have this problem on all my devices which are connected to my Homey…

I will quote the response I gave you on Github already.

> This does not sound like an issue related to my app. It’s either something with the smartphone app or with Homey itself. I would suggest rebooting Homey and force-close the smartphone app. If the problem persists you should contact Athom support about it.

Something else you could try is reinstall the app from the app store.

mostlikely was this the cause:

Could it be possible to start a play list from a flow?
