The logs just show that a face was detected, it doesnt log what happens to flows. However, if a face is detected, the flow will also be triggered (the IF part of the flow). But with the AND conditions the THEN will only be executed if the conditions are met.

I think I got it. There seems to be some sort of cool down on my cameras motion detection or something and the app doesn’t recognize me for more than 78% confidence, I lowered it to 75 and it seems to be working now 🙂

Hi Wout.

Im not sure I fully understand your question, but Ill try to answer it anyway.

The app supports any camera that can produce a snapshot in Homey. In a flow you have to select which snapshot you want to analyze for face detection.

See here for a sample flow: [[NEW APP] FACE++ Face Recognition for Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/29058/59)

Did you fill in the correct api key in the other tab? Doublecheck that you have entered the correct and complete key.

Yes, the free api is good. If you tried all other usual stuff (uninstall - re install the app, give Homey a PTP, created a new account and api Key with F++), then I dont know anymore. You can create an issue on github and include all app logs.

The image / face isnt your problem. The log suggests you entered the wrong api key and secret, or did not save it correctly. I see you saved the match threshold, but I do not see a log that you saved the api key/secret.

PTP is pull the plug. Instructions can be found on this forum.

Hi Robin,

Makes the camera a snapshot directed by the Face++ app?  
I mean if the camera is not setup to make a screenshot.  
Where finds the Face ++ the screenshot to compare?

You have to setup a flow with an action card. In the action card you add the snapshot that you want to analyze. The face++ app does not make the snapshot itself.

See a sample flow in this thread here [[NEW APP] FACE++ Face Recognition for Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/new-app-face-face-recognition-for-homey/29058/59)
