@Peter_Kawa reverted the isbroken check again. Also informed Athom. But it’s not really (not at all) working 🙂

@Sharkys FYI

Just upgraded to the latest version (1.26.13). Have had the app disabled for a while on my HP23 waiting for some bugs to be fixed.  
After upgrading, some of the functionality seems to be working but I can no longer save any settings or filters, as it either gives a message saying ‘Saved’ but reverts to the old setting, or I get the error message ‘Missing implementaion of the api endpoint “settings”’…  
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app without success…

**EDIT** Owh… you’re already at version .18 😅 I’m going to run this version now.  
But anyway mss you may have some use for the below:

v1.26.14  
I think I have a real error message now anyway, Martijn. To be clear, I haven’t changed anything in the app settings.

@To_Lou  
It can be done. But i would rather see a overview app instead of putting this in FlowChecker which is already very heavy on memory

In the card ‘There are flows with broken variables’ I get response “1”. Problem is that I don’t have any flow called “1”. How do I troubleshoot this?

This flow generates the response to the timeline.

I notice that app settings was also showing the response. But I can’t see any broken variables in the flow. It has a HomeyScript due.

@Most the tag you used is showing the amount of broken variables. Not the variable it self.

Hi @martijnpoppen

I have a basic question. Maybe the answer is to be found above this message, but I can not find it that quickly. Maybe a "Flowchecker for dummies’ section would help for some of us.

My question refers to the following message:

Event: BROKEN\_VARIABLE - Flow: _name of a flow_\* | Folder: **name of a folder** | Reason: **Device variable**

I investigate the flow, but there is nothing to see.

Q: what does it mean BROKEN\_VARIABLE. Why is it broken, what can break it, how can I fix it, and most important: what can I do to prevent any variable to break?

I know it’s a basic quenstion, but still hope you can quickly help me understand and thus be able to analyze my messages.

Michel

</div>

@Michel_Bos broken variable means that a tag in your flow is broken. In your particular case a tag from a device.

What you can do to prevent it… yeah many things but the main reason for this app is that its hard to prevent it and therefore you get a message.

So in your flow theres probably a tag missing or a device doesn’t exist anymore and therefore FlowChecker sees the variable as broken

@martijnpoppen Thx Martijn, for reacting this quickly! Appreciate it!

I will have a look at the flows reported and within those the used tags and devices. First quick look shows all is OK, but let me verify 🙂

Will let you know my findings.
