I’ve created several ‘nummervelden’ and I want to change the order they’re displayed. For example I want T rooster as first instead of T out. Afaik now I have to delete all the ‘nummervelden’ save and close and start over again with T rooster as the first entry. I would like to be able to change the sequence directly in the ‘nummervelden’ dialogue. I hope this is helpful? ![IMG_6419](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/7/377af3c61cc87dc00ef4e8db230d061afe820576.jpeg) ![IMG_6420](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/5/8506cf9acb620ed6c27ed86efd2fce07f1a61cf8.jpeg) ---

Though not ideal, but a less cumbersome option compared to completely removing the items, a change in icon also triggers a re-order. So change all the icons to some other one, save and then - in the order of which you want the items to appear - change the icons back. ---

Hi I have made this simple flow, but nothing happens when a Presense Sensor becomes unavailable? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/f/ffc00c40825c204b82068ca3c4dcd81e871b286d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/c/1c6881a38f03022deb5bdff941928333e40bb511.jpeg) ---

Same on my side. This card seems to trigger only when the according app becomes un-/available. ---

I once built something like this using standard flows. - A yes/no variable, e.g. Sensor 1 - Flow: if motion detected, then set Sensor 1 variable to yes - Flow: if time is 00:00, set Sensor 1 variable to no - Flow: if time is 23:59 and variable is set to no, then send a push notification to the user: Sensor 1 not working. It’s not 100% accurate, but it lets you know if the sensor hasn’t detected any movement within 24 hours. ---

Thanks! But I would like to be informed when it’s unavaible - not that it has no movement, ---

At least this gives you a clue that you should have a look at the presence detector. It would be unusual if it didn’t register anything for 24 hours. You can then assume that it’s no longer working. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other solution. Edit: Have a look at the [Heimdall app](https://homey.app/de-de/app/com.uc.heimdall/Heimdall/). I seem to recall that you can set up a flow that triggers if a device hasn’t checked in with Homey for 24 hours. ---

Good afternoon, I would like to import a flow. Below you can see a photo showing how far I get. Afterwards, I don’t understand the steps to create a flow. Can someone provide me with some info/step-by-step plan regarding this? I also used Homey API Playground and pressed the run button, but from then on I don’t know what I need to do. Thanks in advance ![10 5 2026 11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/8/58b4654f855178a0ccd66a3d8b05825606a1c262.jpeg) ![10 5 2026 111](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/0/804b116bdf9e847112905b96e794b1109f1d6582.jpeg) ---

I think you’d discuss with Athom, John William; they refer to “Norwegian” (`no`) as “the” language: ![Screenshot_20260526_222933_Ecosia](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/0/e087291961b784bf560a70c965355b641edd0efd.jpeg) ---

It would be super useful if I can check if a device is offline in a “AND” statement and not in a “WHEN”. Is this possible? Because I already missed the event of that device being not available, so I would like to continue check if is available again or not every X minutes. Riccardo ---

Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk, I understand - based on earlier posts above - that for the `Value` argument in the following card: ![DC Sustained Capability Card 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/df5b87dbdd97d914c3cdcc8a4ecf1744d894b178.png) you should not use tags/variables. But stupid me did apparently use BLL variables in some of my flows 😊. I did not notice it before, as the flows have multiple triggers, but just recently found out that those flows did not trigger when using a BLL variable as input for the card. I did some further testing on when the card triggers and when not, by sending a test notification to the timeline: ![DC Sustained Capability Card 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/9/09e79d1d8f223f7d3c6fa2ff1ce48d0be95cc700.png) I found that when using a standard Logic variable as input for the value field, the card does trigger. Not sure whether that was always the case or due to a change in a recent Homey OS firmware. This makes me wonder: would you also be able to get this card to work with BLL variables as input for the `value` argument? ---

> [@Riccardo\_Ancona](#): > > so I would like to continue check if is available again or not every X minutes. Hi Riccardo, Just connect the error output of any AND flowcard for a certain device, to the “restart app X” card. I add a 30m timer in the mix, to prevent restart loops. Start the advanced flow by a “every x minutes” trigger card.
