I can now find and add them 🙂  
Its hard to distinct between them on adding, they all get the same name, in this discovery method you get a friendly name. Or/and seeing a mac in the settings would also help out 😉

Ill give the features a test run now 🙂  
That long list of buttons, where do the time slots come from?

OK first test, checking status seems to kind of work.  
But it is extremely unstable, both the Philips sleepmapper app as the homey app are both crashing the connection every couple of seconds. I think your are overloading the connection.

When your app is active the Sleepmapper app itself often fails to connect and gives me a reset your device due to an issue error.

The sleeptracker workflow event also isnt fireing but that could be caused by the unstability

Yes I am working on this problem, found a solution with event subscribers, digging in that area

Very good first impression.  
Seems the status is not syncing always, i started a sleep tracking from the light and it did not send to toglle the button.  
A wish: the insights in the history shows a lot of on/offs, would be nice to see them for the tracking on etc

Regarding synchronisation of statuses and buttons, please look at advanced settings. Everything is described there.  
I don’t quite understand about insights, as far as I know they can be switched on and off in the application, can’t they?

The insights i mean this

There were different switches. Main light, sleep tracking etc. But they all show with the same entry of on/off

1. Use the alarm clock itself to activate and deactivate bed tracking. You need to hold the touch button on top of the alarm clock. Or via the Homey or Flow app.
2. You need to uninstall the device and install it again in Homey, there have been major changes in the app. The problem could also be with this.

You can also go to the [developer’s tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) and see if the status of the device itself changes. I noticed a strange bug that statuses can change, but they are not displayed in the app. It seems to be a bug in the Homey app itself.
