Known Issues
Issue: Some flow cards are missing on Homey Pro 2023
Reason: This is due to bug in the new Homey firmware for the 2023 model.
Update: This should be fixed starting with firmware version v10.0.0-rc.118
Issue: LIFX Switch has not the correct icon or no icon.
Reason: Unfortunately I got no suitable icon for these, yet.
Issue: Devices show capabilities they actually do not have.
Reason: Seen in Homey v7.1.3 - Capabilities up-/downgrade is broken in this Homey version. The problem should disappear with future Homey firmware updates.
Issue: The app store shows flowcards for devices which do not even support those flowcards.
Reason: Unfortunately, this is caused by a design decision by Athom, on how the App Store works. And the related feature clashes with the way I am generating the devices seen. Even more unfortunately, I cannot implement a simple fix for that.
