@Arie_J_Godschalk  
Each time Device Capabilities is started (probably after an update), I experience a number of flows being triggered.

I think it has to do with the flow card WHEN “is set”, perhaps in combination with React/Reflect.

In any case there should not be any trigger after DC is started.  
Lmk what you need.

@Arie_J_Godschalk Every now and then DC is crashing. When it crashed, my CPU load is reduced significantly. Can you help:

1. Identify what causes the crashes
2. How to reduce CPU load?

Yeah, i allready have a version which is prety much migrated to the homey-api, but it still has some bugs.  
It needs to be fixed fiest, before i can release it.  
But that version uses (way) less resources.

Can it be true that the 2 functions below no longer work?  
Because I have a few flows, which are now no longer executed. Also did a test, but the trigger no longer works.

Homeyversie: 10.1.0-rc.2  
Appversie: 2.15.2 Experimental

Indeed, the testversion still contains bugs, just switch back to the Live version.

And thanks for the DIAG, it contains errors which give me great insights to solve it!

You’re referring to this post I think:

@Arie_J_Godschalk RAM for DC and Better Logic have been super low from NOV 27-29. After midnight on NOV 29/30 it jumped up again. I thought it was me changing stuff the previous day. I even went through all the AVDs (50!) to remove properties like Chronograph and React, but I cannot reach the low RAM from before.

Any idea what may have caused the changes in RAM?

Current I am on  
HP2023 10.1.0  
DC v2.15.3 Test  
BL v3.4.8

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/c/fc7028904746206823dfba7bf3a00c38b899aaef.png)

@Arie_J_Godschalk I’ve checked other apps too, they all show the same huge dip in RAM use over two days. I have no idea what it can be. Probably unrelated to DC and BL.

No, and my hp2023 is down after installing 10.1.0 🫤  
But the DC test still contains bugs in the used homey-api. I have a few hours planned tomorrow to update to the latest homey-api in the hope the bugs are resolved.

I’m using Action Scheduler. It gets triggered from Alarms scheduled in the Homey app. Not sure this is what you’re looking for.

Hi all,

I have some confusion about matching the Thermostat target value and the reflected measure value.  
I did some search in this topic, but couldn’t find anyone with the same question.

I used the Multiple Virtual Thermostat template. And set 4 thermostats using the reflect feature.  
The react setting on all number fields is set to “Yes”.

Now some of the 4 reflected measure values are actually from another thermostat when one is selected.  
How can I make sure that the target and measure values match on the same screen in the app?  
Do I need to do something with the names, or the order in which they are configured?

My guess is you should add the the target and measured temperature as pairs.  
Like:  
Numberfield 1: target temperature ThermostatA  
Numberfield 2: measured temperature ThermostatA  
Numberfield 3: target temperature ThermostatB  
Numberfield 4: measured temperature ThermostatA
