Thanks - just tested gradient as suggested

And also blinking without quotation marks:
Not working.
Thanks!

Hmmm, gradient works as expected, with this code it do exactly what it should…
Blinking work as expected too
Value 1 you entered is superlow, it means it should blink every 1ms, that is not possible for Awtrix, if you put 400 as blink every 400ms, that you will see blinks.
EDIT: But indeed it looks like repeat and blinkText does not work in custom app, i will try to fix it

Hi @Bckp, I was just testing your updated app with the option to format text fragments.
You indicate that you can put text fragments both in the text field and the JSON field.
It works if I put the parameters in the text/message field, e.g.:
It does not work if I put the parameters in the JSON field (and leave the text/message field empty):
Perhaps the JSON option only works with notifications?
Anyhow: thanks for implementing the colored text fragments option 🙂 !

Hi there, I changes the IP addresses of my 5 AWTRIX, adopted settings in Homey and everything was fine… two days later (yesterday) =\> red triangle with exclamation mark…
Just of this very second: There are back on… strange…

thanks - too late. Since Homey stated that the AWTRIX app isn´t installed, I dared to “re-install” it (it still was installed), and that brought back all devices without breaking the innumerous flows.

Just happened again:
bfcc5806-d5e8-4b5e-ab95-e940ace310b9
and this the flows are broken:
Also, I was wondering if there is a max string length for apps? Sometimes, my rather long DWD weather warning string is presented “cut off”.

Thanks for your kind help!!!

@Bckp I’ve seen that you already fixed something about the colored text function within the JSON. I tried it as well, but I’m getting always only the icon without any text…
What I did:
```auto
{
"repeat": 3,
"pushIcon": 2,
"text": [
{
"t": "Hello, ",
"c": "FF0000"
},
{
"t": "world!",
"c": "00FF00"
}
]
}
```

I am trying to compare your flowcard with mine that works. It has some text in yellow, followed by text in white. But I can’t spot the issue in your card.
One thought: are you using straight quotes or the curly ones? Only the former work if I am correct.

Ok found the issue - so stupid. I missed somehow the # before the color. thanks everone for help. I compared the example @SunBeech with mine…

I’m sorry, I was in the hospital with a disease called Vertigo (balance disorder), but im starting to work again, so i will check your code and what can be wrong, one thing is, are you sure you have proper icon id?
Edit: oh you found it, there is difference between what docs say and what is expected, i spoke about that with enforcer (author of awtrix fw) already but it is kind of BC break he do not want to publish (understandable), homey app accepts color only with hash tag… i can write bigger regex for parsing hex values but i would prefer to stick with simple color entry with hash character
