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? ---

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? ---

Iโ€™m using the app for some days. It helps me to reduce complexity in advanced flows. Now I found some issues in the app: - Choosing light in dropdown list โ†’ list is not sorted, quick filter wonโ€™t work - Interval blinking lights โ†’ sometimes the light wonโ€™t stop blinking, also if I run โ€œstop all intervalsโ€ Maybe this can be fixed ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Hi Lรฉon, 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?
