Changelog New: Seven new cards: Saturation with and without dimming, Temperature with and without dimming, Hex Color card with and without dimming, and Set lamp to color without dimming.
Ok. Certainly not a mistake, but surely me who understands flow too poorly.
After I have started a flow with a certain color and start a new flow, the new flow has the same color as the previous one. How can I set a newly started flow to standard, e.g. white light?
Guess I’m using the latest version (v1.0.3)? Installed it yesterday.
EDIT: I see now that it is a v1.0.5. Are apps not automatically updated in Homey Pro?
1.0.5 is a test version. Once you have this installed it will update immediately when a new test version is released. 1.0.5 has already been submitted to Athom for a live version but is still waiting for approval.
Not sure if its a bug or I am expecting something thats not there.
I saw the scenes function. I have on dimmer with 4 buttons and added different scenes to different buttons. Brightness changes but all of the scenes give the same color and hue. Is that expected?

Hi Léon,
I read this quote and do not find the card you mention. If I switch on my dimmer with standard homey card and set dimlevel and color in the next cards I see some flicker if the previous setting was lighter. I hope to prevent this in setting color, dim level and power on in one card, how do I do this?
Thanks, Frans
