The card in the picture is without number. The one with number runs fine I do know that a beer is not the solution. But i do hope it helps a bit. enjoy 🍻 ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk Do you have any tips for reordening device entities/fields? Sometime i want you reorden or cleanup and that’s giving me issues within flows when i manually remove and readd in the right order again. Thanks! 🙂 ---

Im trying to solv a small problem. Not shure AVD can atm solv it but this is my problem if someone have any good ideas how to solv it id be greatful 🙂 Anyway i have a smartmeter that i would like to use like a wall plug does in homey in my case i would like it to be like any other power/energy wall plug and be part as a device in the Energy page. This smartmeter do not do this exept beeing part of the total for the house wich aint applicable in my problem. So i created a wall plug device class unit with a power sensor that have a reflect from the smartmeter device. So far so good. But it wont end up in the energy page with its values. ![Screenshot_20230408_073326_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4a1089f0fcc86ed8bdf6ebec90a87f9d2b5320f8.jpeg) I have insight active on the sensor object. As i wrote. Im not shure AVD can do this or not. But if someone have a good idea i would be extremely happy 🙂 ---

Yeah, change a ShowAS f.i. , and a field is recreated. Fields are sorted based on creation. Buttons and onoff’s are connected. Changing the first BUTTON will automaticly recreate all buttons and onoff’s. ---

This is great indeed. I have most of the options working for all my avd’s with lights and sensors in them. The only thing that not seems te be working correctly is the timer. Tested on my kitchen sensor and the timer goes directly to 49 seconds (Not visible in this image) and stays on that number. Not sure if I did something wrong here? ![2023-04-26 12_33_21-Homey Pro van Alex en Astrid](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/a/aaa40e945bf4c5338805f0eee12bd20b2ac7d682.png) ![2023-04-26 12_32_47-Homey Pro van Alex en Astrid](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/9/99def32e5d6117b436e001efec4ef276a3db7433.png) I also miss a few options that are set in the examples like “Berekening” and “Debounce”.

It works here… but I think it does only work with a “number” type field 1. When I add a timer as Chronograph device, I **had to pause & resume it** for the timer duration to appear on the timer tile (@Arie_J_Godschalk is that a bug, or a need-to-know?), and ofc for the duration time to appear on my AVD 2. Sometimes the remaining time wasn’t running anymore after editing the AVD → A Device Capabilities app restart solved it. (@Arie_J_Godschalk is that a bug, or a need-to-know?) ![Screenshot from 2023-04-26 20-07-55](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/6/96d69951aed94712100649ad21c0b98cffb51b6d.png) With these settings, it works: > ![signal-2023-04-26-182455_002](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/4/04d93b5bf739930e28aaa57b80d7fe8ab3068aae.jpeg) I discovered it does not work when “Create Flow Cards” isn’t ticked. (Which is odd to me, while you don’t need a flow for this to be functioning. Is this a bug or need-to-know @Arie_J_Godschalk ?

Hi Arie! I’ve just installed AVD, but I’ve got one problem. Simple text tile on homey, but the status will not show, even though it shows the correct value when I long press on it. I’m running the homey app on my iPad/iPhone, after a long wait I’ve noticed that some values might be updated eventually after a restart of the homey app on my iPad.🤔 I’ve tried to update the status from BLL variable and from a flow, no luck. Any tips? Thanks! /Johan ![IMG_4897](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/4/844c74a03ddf854a654e4d615f2514349b4be065.jpeg) ![IMG_4898](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/7/b7bb34d6b1ea8f78d749845ffab3f2e4766f6f50.jpeg) ![IMG_4899](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/1/51e0bba552e0e6879e4564aecf47574a032462d2.jpeg) ![IMG_4900](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/5/65d56ce5adab78e25c142a7891761fbd84a2da93.jpeg) ![IMG_2126](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/8/980e9893eb8f400ae01fd01191b3281413336b20.png) ![IMG_2128](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/dd9816e9a0b920f858ef878065284827096c0e79.png) ---
