If you scroll down in the list of devices you should see the tiles specificly. At least that is how i have done the flow ---

Im not on 2.0 but my tiles (pro) work but “freeze” after a while. I’m afraid that it won’t be resolved in 2.0. Not sure when I’m going to upgrade. Your issue sounds a little bit like mine. My workaround is to have a flow to reboot the Homey every night. ---

I can not get my beacons to work 😥☹. First, I tried to add my chipollo classic with the app, but both are not recognized. of course I have removed the chipollo app from the cell phones so that they can be found as well. Unfortunately without success. However, the chipollo can be found with a beacon scanner … apparently the chipollo are simply not supported. then I tried it with beacons from gimbal ([fyx.com](http://fyx.com)). the beacons are recognized correctly by the app and can be added. However, these are only recognized for 2-3 minutes and then no longer until I remove the battery and insert again. With other apps, these are recognized permanently. the gimbals are set to 100ms. Use the latest homey Firmware an beacon App (beta) version I do not know what else to do … does anyone have an idea? ---

Hi @RoyWissenburg dont forget that maybe 2 from the 10 times is detecting me earlier, the other 8 times its just the 6 meter. I have no idea why its sometimes different ---

Ok, so my flow triggers when i come home /status set to home when beacon is inside range. But it do not trigger my flow when i leave / status set to away when beacon is outside range. The prescence is detected correct if i check my tile in the device tab. Anyone with the same problem ? (I am on Homey v2.0.5.) ---

My flow is like this: When: The beacon is outside range -\> Then: Change presence to away + card send push notification to my iphone. So like 2 minute after i leave my home i get a push notifiction ( = flow runs!). But then i open homey app and my presence has not be set to away. I close the app and check some minutes later and then my prescence has changed. Same delay happens when i come home.
