Captcha is broken for me… I’m trying to create a login on [console.faceplusplus.com/register](http://console.faceplusplus.com/register) (using an email adress) for a API key. Click on send button and get a pop-up with a text field and a broken captcha image… renewing the captcha image does nothing… Any advice? ---

Probaably the secure Api isn’t correct. Try copy the API on a computer/chromebook from console.faceplusplus. ai had the same issue. Drove me crazy. ---

When I make a flow it states Doorbel pushed → Make snapshot The Face++ then card Search Faces has also _Original label (eg Cam1)_ Can I create my own label or is it the name of the face I have created in the settings of the app ---

Hey @Gruijter, Bedankt voor het aanbieden van deze app! Ik heb het volgende gedaan, maar hij doet het helaas niet… 1. Face++ app gedownload op Homey 2. API KEY en API SECRET voor ios aangemaakt en in de app gezet in Homey op mijn iPhone 3. Gezicht geupload in faces met een detection quality van 90,629 met als label Matthew 4. De onderstaande flows aangemaakt ![Face++](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/3/e3c95b6b66d3d06d565153d5e5ade9382239c451.png) Helaas als ik voor de deur sta dan herkend hij mij niet en krijg ik geen notificatie. Hieronder staan de logs: ![IMG_7572](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/7/5780278aa6906e08f2c7f21a9f344afd9bc811e3.png) Doe ik iets verkeerd? Of heb je aanbevelingen om het wel te laten werken? Ik gebruik BTW een Aqara Video Doorbell G4 die ik via de HomeKit Controller app van Homey beschikbaar heb gemaakt. Op de deurbel zit standaard al face recognition, maar helaas heeft de HomeKit Controller app deze triggers niet. Om die reden probeer ik het op deze manier. ---

Try sending the image ‘motion’ to yourself in flow 2. Check if the image has a face in it, and that the face has enough pixels in it. You might have to take multiple snapshots to capture the face at the right moment. ---

I Want to Buy a good smart Doorbell Camera that when it detects my face. My Doorlock will unlock Automatically. Any Premium Doorbell Camera that might work with this app?😊 ---

Completely rewritten version 3.0.0 is ready for testing: > **[Face++ | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.gruijter.facepp/Face++/test/)** > > Face recognition for Homey - Full app rewrite - Reduced dependencies - Significantly reduced memory footprint - Significantly improved stability - Improved app settings page - Added advanced search faces flow card - Added auto-adding of discovered faces. - Added managing and syncing from Face++ cloud - Added all translations I thought I would spend a week fully rewriting and testing this app. Memory crash issues are gone (at least during my testing). Another important feature is that you can now have the app automatically add new faces it finds, when the quality of the image is good enough.🥸 And lastly I added a new advanced flow card that makes creating an advanced flow for face detection even simpler. Downside of that advanced card is that it only outputs a single face (the ‘best’), even when multiple are in view of the camera. ![Schermafdruk van 2026-08-22 18-11-05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/2/32fee06e4250592821e6b5bb85bce10ab5ef7bf3.png) ---

Nice! I find it working amazingly good, as long as the camera has a high resolution, the image quality is good (enough light / no face shading), and the person looks straight into the camera when the snapshot is taken. Taking a few snapshot with 1s interval helps. Also make sure that the reference images you upload are excellent head shots (quality \> 80 when analyzed). Do let us know how it works for your intercom setup! ---

How do I get this app to auto add new faces that it finds. Do I need to setup a flow to trigger this? ---
