Hi Gruijter, I think this is much fun to use. Got it to work just now for the first time. setup was straight forward. Now i have the ring pro and let it make a snapshot. I see in several flows that you let the camera search for faces after o sec,1sec,2sec,3sec. This way i am getting 4 times a recognation message. Why is this nessesary? gr, Frans ---

Im not capturing the ring camera image, because that indeed doesnt change that often. 😉 So Im only using the ring motion detection to trigger the snapshot capture of another camera (50 euro Aldi maginon). Making multiple snapshots with some seconds delay significantly increases the chance to get a snapshot in which a face is captured good enough to do recognition. ---

Hi Frans To avoid duplicate hits, try disabling the flow for 5 seconds after getting a recognised face. ---

It actually recognize through windows too, I`m getting “caught” when in my kitchen from the outdoor entrance cam, 5 meters away, and in a different angel. ---

This app gives some nice new posibilities for Homey. But it’s a bit creepy too. There was nobody in the garage at this moment: 😱 😱 😂 ![Screenshot_20200512_111955](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/c/8c44709066829abb2808b9868be342882de6ea7e.jpeg) ---

Nobody there? Or so you think… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/JklC42vNqls/hqdefault.jpg "Ghost Hunters: Haunted Graveyard Investigation (Season 1) | A&E") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JklC42vNqls) And to keep this from happening again: 1. Make sure that the reference photo’s you upload are of excellent quality (90 or higher) 2. Put a check in your flow that the quality of the image is higher than e.g. 50 ---

Hi, In case there is no face found I am getting the message: “**[log] no faces found in image XXXXXX**” However when a face is detected in the image I am getting the message: “**[err] Error: INVALID\_OUTER\_ID at FacePP.\_makeRequest (/facepp.js:206:34) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task\_queues.js:97:5)**” So not having success with the app yet. Actions done so far: - Checked and double-checked API + Secret - Re-typed API + Secret: _Did not solve the issue!_ - Restarted the Face++ app: _Did not solve the issue!_ - Re-installed the Face++ app: _Did not solve the issue!_ - Disabled the Pushover app: _Did not solve the issue!_ - Restarted Homey: _Did not solve the issue!_ One thing I discovered is that using Face++ action card and Pushover action card in the same flow will crash the Pushover app so perhaps the issue is with the combination of these two apps? Any ideas? Tx Robert. ---

Outer\_id issue can be related to using another api key after adding faces. Or it could be caused by making a Homey backup and restoring it on another Homey. But in both cases removing and re-installing the app should have solved it. Did you remove the app fully before installingbit again? ---

Hi, thanks for your response. I went into Face++ settings and chose ‘Uninstall’, I assume this is a full remove. Please let me know if I’ll need to do anything else (e.g. also remove flows in which Face++ cards are being used etc.). Update: - Deleted original created API and created a new (free) API: _Did not solve the issue_ - Uninstalled Face++ app, created new [faceplusplus.com](http://faceplusplus.com) account including new API, restarted Homey and re-installed Face++ app: Now I get **[err] TypeError: Cannot read property ‘threshold’ of null at /app.js:212:65 at processTicksandRejections (internal/process/task\_queues.js:97:5) at async Promise.all (index 0) at async FaceApp.searchFaces (/app.js:225:4)** when testing with the test image Not sure if it helps but with my ‘old’ [facepluplus.com](http://facepluplus.com) account I got lots of errors: ![oldFacepluplusAccount](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/1/c1761ea65fb3cab329d8ba589e7f87d91c418b21.jpeg) With my ‘new’ [facepluplus.com](http://facepluplus.com) account I almost have no errors, so although it does still not work, it seems creating a new account at [faceplusplus.com](http://faceplusplus.com) did make some change: ![newFacepluplusAccount](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/1/31e42ad4a1c951b285fd68bf20d9f1ce72940072.jpeg) _Note: I have to admit that at my first try (old [facepluplus.com](http://facepluplus.com) account) I did not upload Faces yet, with new [facepluplus.com](http://facepluplus.com) account I did upload a test Face, not sure if that is related to the issues I am facing!_ ---

After changing the ‘ **Confidence Threshold** ’ to ‘ **40** ’ (the Face I uploaded was not of the greatest quality (Detection Quality = 43,75)) and restarted the Face++ app, it seems to work. Although not sure what exactly fixed the issue (I think it is the combination of the new [faceplusplus.com](http://faceplusplus.com) account and the fact I uploaded at least a single Face) it is working. Hopefully this helps others facing similar problems. Robert. ---

Ah, that makes sense. I will add it to the app roadmap to fix these errors after a clean install with no faces added. ---

> [@RobertC](#): > > One thing I discovered is that using Face++ action card and Pushover action card in the same flow will crash the Pushover app It might be that Pushover is not able to handle certain flow tokens.
