Hi Arnold,

It seems you try to import the TEF as flow per app config.  
But this TEF is an export of an _AVD_ with a flow, this works differently:  
you have to create a new AVD first, and then import the TEF  
(This is recognisable when a TEF starts with `tef:AVD: ....`)

> Example on how to use an AVD Template with Flows. I have created a Advanced Virtual Device (AVD) called Light Switch, containing three lights: Living room, kitchen and Game Room. I also created a flow which controls the status of the buttons and the reactions to the pushing of the buttons: And You can copy this Device and its Flows with the The Exchanger File. TEF: [tef:AVD,FLOWS:"H4sIAAAAAAACA9V5aa/bWJLlX0kY/Y2l4b4ZmA+kxE0iKXETRTYKCe77Iop7df33ue/ZmVl2urPedNb0…
