Try settings the Device Class to other? The error shows device class being empty (new type of error for me). ---

> [@Pixi](#): > > Hi Peter, just add a delay per blind? Hi Pixi, that is of course a simple solution, but the issue is the default delays have a minimum duration of 1 second. That’s way to slow when one likes to close X blinds at once. > [@Slow Flow](https://community.homey.app/t/slow-flow/79623/6): > > True, Homey Pro 2019 is bad with sending more than a few commands at once. No clue how Pro 2023 handles that Another way besides adding delays is, in Advanced flow, you can daisy-chain your action cards (connect the input for the 2nd card to the output of the 1st card and so on) so they won’t get fired at once, but one after the other. Other option: create a group device with all your devices you want to control with this flow. The group members are not fired at once, but in sequence so to sp… ---

Hi Arie, I noticed you updated this flowcard’s text, but “One’s” should be “Once” I guess? ![Screenshot from 2023-06-05 15-29-36](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/6/26590d424d6803d938fb807987bf2f1de6ad89f6.png) ---

Had an android update yesterday. New Style. And now the devices with an indicator only on\off button no longer work. They button stay on when he should be off. It still works on the web app. Do you already know about this or is it my homey2019? ---

Yesterday I have installed my new Homey pro 2023 with a backup from Homey 2019. After repairing all Zigbee devices I noticed an issue with all my AVD’s. The were not turned on when light are turned. That is causing all other kind of issues because some things rely on the AVD being on or off. So I did some testing and found that the issue was found in a flowcard with an error “Invalid or unexpected token” I changed the items of the card but that did not help. ![Capture_971](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/b/bbe3b46cebb596ac0a116e9dabbbda221b29ba8d.jpeg) ![Capture_972](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/c/acabe31867576d3cb519089b25e6c631b807297e.jpeg) Any idea what I can do to fix this? Thanks. ---

> [@Pixi](#): > > exapmple during the day the blinds go up and down based upon the lux, but in the evening they close based upon this variable, also when we are not in the house the same. also if my wife hits a button the variable also kicks in @Pixi would you be able to share an example of what you have with me? I am trying to have my blinds to go up and down depending on the lux but i am getting stuck. So far i have set up something like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/c/ccdef899c5d373061af4d65a9ee892dc56da921c.png) but if my sensor is already above 800lx and 25 degrees this flows does not get triggered. I got adviced to install the Action Scheduler app but i honestly got quite lost so trying to figure out some help. Thanks a lot ---

ok, first define an override variable, when you want and do not want to open and close your blinds on the calculations ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/3/73ede010fc641eb78fde37293696c5ddb716dd9f.png) Secondly, calculate the average value you want to use for your lux value ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/8/88a0ebe19f83ee538da2bb5c13bf208c3cbb6d68.png) Also calculate the bandwidth how to move the blinds up and down, (if not they will keep moving.) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/5/9526e41afc7c87cd520e4746e83b3d428082bbf3.png) Each blind can have their own length you can adjust this via this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/e/8e0e67887f3d792052015ffc409dc4b68400fe31.png) bason upon this, you can move the curtains up and down. (since this is pased in a app of @Arie_J_Godschalk , i also show the debugging part, in case of issues. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/f/bf898a752c87e0196d620dbf1a540cf0371e9095.png) Please take note, this is how i have done, it but there are a lot of way’s to do this, since a lot of this also controls the lights etc etc etc. enjoy toying around! cheers, Pixi ---

Is Athom already aware of this bug? Is it something that should be fixed by Athom because some cards are just not useable right now with all these AVD’s. One of the status cards and the card field to expression are two I have seen that give errors. This is when the status card has been triggered. ![Capture_974](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/a/8a3b8e42554394c9da0207c381ef4f492ed42ff8.jpeg) Thanks, I will have a look if there is a workaround for now or if someone already has one than I’m all ears. ---

I’m struggling with creating a tile that shows more than just one text item. I’ve created three status indicator fields reflecting temperature, pressure and humidity from a sensor. However, these don’t show on the tile, only in the details page. Anyone able to give me a quick and dirty explanation of how to get the tile itself to display this? ---
