Okay, update to version 0.6.10 You can just await like before: ```auto await BL.init({homey:this.homey}); ``` Also the decode is the same, only an NPM update needed šŸ™‚ I am pushing BLL now, so everyone should be updated in 4 hours. All changes are in the NPM package, so you can push when you want after updating the NPM. The donā€™t need the latest BLL for this to work correctly, since, when there is an error, it will just resolve and hide it, not raise an error or anything. ---

### The betterlogiclibrary NPM package has been updated to 0.6.10 Update it in your app to make sure it works correctly on all Homey Proā€™s. No other changes needed then to update the npm package for optional apps. ---

New chapter in my journey through some of your apps. Because I was experiencing some issues with Device Capabilities and Homey 2023 I made some adjustments to my AVDs. I have disabled the corresponding flows and have set all devices with reflection and response in the AVD. Now I run into a setting on some devices where I donā€™t yet know what to enter (I donā€™t understand it yet but hope to understand that soon). For example, with one of my Eufy sensors I have to enter a BLL expression and Iā€™m stuck on that for now. ![Capture_975](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/e/ee7c7dfafdaf652fb40a0fbdc088ed35e835ea7a.jpeg) What do I have to enter here and do I have to do something in Better Logic first? I see something with $vallue but I have no idea. Thank you. ---

> [@Heula](#): > > What do I have to enter here and do I have to do something in Better Logic first? Well, you are setting a Textfield, but the capability is a Boolean (Contact Alarm). Either create a Yes/No field with those settings, so you do not need a BLL expression, or do you want some special text? B:LL expression is required when the reflect capability is different then the Fieldtype. ---

The yes/no field was what I needed. No need for special text. Learned again today. šŸ‘šŸ˜‰ Thanks. ---

Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk I needed to get the current hour as a tag so i started to build a app and added other things I thought could be useful for someone. I made a lot of flowcards. It looks like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/4/d42e4ccb77bb600c07501b15cd5685d4454de512.png) But i got problem that it showed 1 hour wrong and after reading a bit I read in a thread that you recomended using BLL. Im not that good programmer in javascript so i was thinking you might include this feature in BLL. Personally I only need the swedish hour so im fine with my app not published, but someone else maybe needs to do calculations on time or something. /Rikard ---

> [@janrikard](#): > > Im not that good programmer in javascript so i was thinking you might include this feature in BLL. I think most options are already build into BLL. You can use the BLL expression as Tag flowcard and fill it with, f.i: `parseInt(date('hh'))` ---

maybe it is, but that gave me the time 12 hour off. Im still not that good programmer to guess how that works. thanks anyway /Rikard ---

@janrikard Ah, sorry, use capital HH, if you want 24 hour based. See the BLL app settings for all examples. šŸ™‚ ---

thanks, that works for me. I should se if i could solve this in my code so users can get this without you have to give personal support /Rikard ---

> [@janrikard](#): > > thanks, that works for me. I can add a flowcard to retrieve date-parts as number. It wouldnā€™t need this many flowcards, just a pickerlist with all the date-parts that BLL supports. ---

HomeyScript (New Api) and Better Logic Library Does anyone know how to read and write BLL variables using the new, latest Homey API? Old code: ```auto // BLL var testStr = ā€œ1.01,1.02,1.03ā€; let BLApp = await Homey.apps.getApp({id:ā€œnet.i-dev.betterlogicā€ }); log(BLApp); BLApp.apiPut(ā€˜TestStr/ā€™ + testStr); ``` Script Error Type Error: BLApp.apiPut is not a function Maybe itā€™s not possible. (Yet) šŸ™‚ Thanks! ---

Please use the topic for Homeyscript testers, I would recommend discussing issues with topic starter Jeroen (Athom), and read the updated docs posted there, thanks! > [@HomeyScript looking for testers](https://community.homey.app/t/homeyscript-looking-for-testers/109249): > > We are looking for some test users for the new HomeyScript version [HomeyScript | Homey](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.athom.homeyscript/HomeyScript/test/) that uses our new [homey-api - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/homey-api) library under the hood for new scripts. All old scripts will keep working and can be upgraded but itā€™s not necessary. To upgrade scripts the following guide can be followed. [Tutorial: Migrating deprecated scripts - HomeyScript (athombv.github.io)](https://athombv.github.io/com.athom.homeyscript/tutorial-migrate.html) This has been a pain point for some time since the web api docs have been for our new api but HomeyScript was still using the old ā€¦ But, while I looked it up already, this might fix it, Johan; it seems like `apiPut` has to be replaced by `put` ![Screenshot from 2024-05-13 20-27-12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/d/6d58aaffa766e2f1a859b730979ff766cc00c40d.png) ---

HomeyScript seems not to ā€œknowā€ defined global variables, i.e. global.keys() and global.get(ā€˜blahā€™) are not working. didnā€™t check set. setting the variables in flows works. Why? [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-better-logic-library-for-developers/71761.md?page=1)
