See the topic for examples. Create a device and configure it yourself: Textual Status on Device Tile in Mobile App setable through flows. Custom uploadable icons can be set as capability icon. Have the Device Tile function as a Pushbutton (staying light/dark after clicked) but set Dark/Light on the Tile as status from a flow. 10 Numbers, Texts, Yes/No’s, Buttons and Cameras can be add_devices. Hide device tile button from the device itself. And A flowcard to retrieve the User and Client from the Insights from x minutes ago (can be zero for now). Example: Retrieve the value from LivingRoom for Temperature from 30 minutes ago. Or Set capabilities of device’s per zone, for example open or close all curtains in a certain zone, including (or not) the subzones. Also listens for capabilities of which there are no triggers from the app developer. And a condition able to set a capability and wait for a specific “error”. Now also a new actioncard, which retrieves the value from a capability from a device from [numberof] minutes ago (including the User and Client which changed the value). No more need to temporarily save your values in a variable every 10 minutes, and having that not work when running a flow manually. New: App [[app]] is started card (When). [image] New: App [[app]] is running conditioncard (And). [image] So: [image] “Apparaat mogelijkheden” means “Device Capabilities” Examples Example: Retrieve the value from LivingRoom for Temperature from 30 minutes ago. Example: Set curtain.windowcoverings_set To 0 in Home including subzones (Yes). This will close all curtains in the Home and subzones. Setting it to 1 will open all curtains. Example: Listen (watch) from Vacuumcleaner1 for bin_full The flow will be triggered when a device called Vacuumcleaner1 has the capacity bin_full changed. Check the value for true and send a notification to your phone to know when the vacuumcleaner bin is full. Also gives you tokens with the User and Client (App) which activated/changed the capability value. Example: Set SamsungFrameTV.onof to True and wait for error: Powered on already… The flow will continue after the TV has been turned ON. So no more flows with delays for waiting for TV or Coffeemaker to turn on. To know which Errors are given, create a flow with the normal On/Off flowcard and execute that flow. You will recieve errors like “Powering on in progress” or “Allready powered on…”. These errors can be “watched” for. For example; In the next flow i turn on the TV (Called Frame). If the TV is turned of and when I start it, no error returns. If i directly press it again, i get an “Powering on in progress…”. If i wait a few seconds and start it again, i get the messages “Powered on allready…”. [image] This way you can get the error messages. You can copy the text from the red error message and use it in the Wait for error FlowCard. How to find a capability for a device? In the first field, you enter the device name. In the second field, you will get a list of the capabilities (Stoffie is a Roomba 980 and this is my working case): You can then select the correct Capability, in this case bin_full [image] [image] This works great voor a PA system: How to make a Great Public Announcement ¶ System with any device! - Apps - Homey Community Forum (athom.com) Apps: [image] [Profile] Arie J.

Tried another flow where the user shows up, but again no result….

Let me try on the SHS @Peter_de_Vos Same OK result on a SHS :face_with_peeking_eye: When you tap on the user field (if there), a (list of )user name(s) should pop up, does it @ your SHS? [Screenshot_20260115_163045_Firefox] [Screenshot_20260115_163638_Firefox]

Yes, it does if it shows up. Also tried firefox in stead of chrome. Same result.

When i try it with an simple flow with just a trigger and a then card it work just fine :thinking:

Maybe its because there are more triggers in one flow:thinking:. Guess i have ro rebuild al my flows:astonished_face:. Would be nice if the advence flows could be imported [1000066974]

They can be exported/imported, but you’ll need a keyboard with an Alt key. [image]Homey Self-Hosted Server (Pre release analysis) the flow im-/export functionality works, tested :white_check_mark: with Pro 2026 and SHS @ linux+Docker [Screenshot_20251217_174501_Google] EDIT: You’ll need a keyboard with an “ALT” key to activate the additional menu items. For Android, a BT or USB keyboard does the trick. To import, hit the ... on the right of a flow folder.

Thnx! Will check out tommorow. Took me 9 years to build them, so no hurry.

Hi, I want a light device with 4 buttons. 1 to control all 3 lights, the other 3 to control the lights indepentenly. I also want a dim and a menu to change the color. I like it how it is with group devices but can’t get that for the color and temperature. [image] I want something like that but the only thing I get with this app is this. [image] This is on desktop. On mobile I see the version with only colors but want something like the top. Is this even possible or do I need to use a different solution.

For that, you need to add all necessary fields. I believe (from head right now) a number field set to Hue plus a number field set to Saturation. And both field, you need to Check the Create Real Fields checkbox.

I think I’ve missed the checkbox, going to check this tonight. Thanks.
