I don’t think this is an issue with the app, so…I’d appreciate it if someone could help me.

I’m slowly replacing my old computer, and desktop device is the next in line. I’ve set up the computer in Homey and the desktop app is showing the connection. However, in Homey, I get this:

My first instinct is this may be the culprit. Anyone know what this means?

I have several flows that result in a message indicating required action. Some of these alert via Alexa speak but I find the Alexa connection unreliable. I am not good at picking up notifications on mobile devices and want a way of displaying a message on my PC that will not disappear until acknowledged. Would the Desktop Device App be a route to achieving this?

Best to check / post in the according topic here for that app then.
