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

@Sharkys FYI

Patric_Hedin · September 30, 2023, 11:57am

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.

Hey @Peter_Kawa ( )

But yeah that was the issue which should be fixed in .18

To_Lou · October 1, 2023, 12:42pm

Is this something that could be done in Flow checker app?

martijnpoppen · October 1, 2023, 12:52pm

@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

Most · November 3, 2023, 7:40pm

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?

martijnpoppen · November 3, 2023, 7:51pm

@Most were do you see that response?

Most · November 3, 2023, 9:20pm

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.

martijnpoppen · November 3, 2023, 9:50pm

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

Most · November 3, 2023, 10:24pm

Ah, ok.
And are there any way I can find the broken variable?

martijnpoppen · November 3, 2023, 10:36pm

No only the flow which contains that variable

Sharkys · November 4, 2023, 6:26pm

@martijnpoppen btw any news from Athom ?

martijnpoppen · November 4, 2023, 6:27pm

@Sharkys nope still chasing

Michel_Bos · December 28, 2023, 10:40am

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

martijnpoppen · December 28, 2023, 10:43am

@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

Michel_Bos · December 28, 2023, 11:05am

@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.
