Hmm, i don’t believe so? It should do it fully automatic, but did you try press the “search” button? If you did could you try restart the Sonos app? (More —\> apps —\> Sonos LocalAPI —\> restart app)

I did restart the app. It said all Sonos devices were already added. However, their IP was not correct anymore. I could not remove a Sonos device and add again. Only updating the IP manually fixed the problem. I am using latest app version.

The When cards are added in v2.3.1 now in test. Are you able to try it out?

Would you also be able to take a look at the flow cards? Looks strange without spaces. Thanks!

And if possible a WHEN card for progress in seconds too. As i can’t see that one, but that one would probablt be best after you fix the seconds progress to update every second?

I tested the WHEN cards you added, they work amazing!!! Thank you so much for this amazing app!

This one?

Would a Then card with a “goto x seconds” possible (x as playing time of a song/book/podcast)?

I still can’t find the WHEN seconds card?? Could you send a screenshot or something what it looks like? I’ve tried to restart and update the app.

In this diagnostics report you are still using v2.3.2. Can you try to update to v2.3.3?

Hey. So is this something you can fix? I have no idea, but my flows and Homey has been unstable so i contacted Athom. And the diagnostics points towards this app. Here’s the mail from Athom:

> Thank you for sharing the diagnostic report, it gave us a clear picture of what’s happening.
> 
> The Advanced Flow lag isn’t a flow editor issue in itself. Your Homey’s internal API was timing out repeatedly (we can see this across devices, flows, and advanced-flows in the logs), and when that happens the editor can’t load or resolve flow cards properly, which explains the 2-minute delays you experienced.
> 
> The underlying cause appears to be the Sonos Local app (nl.xiut.sonoslocal). The logs show it generating continuous CPU warnings from around 14:00 all the way through 16:00, with spikes up to 100% CPU at one point. It also looks like it was stuck in a crash-restart loop rather than climbing toward the system’s automatic kill threshold, so it kept disrupting things without ever being stopped.
> 
> On top of that, the report shows your Homey had an unexpected reboot shortly before the diagnostic was taken, which can leave some residual instability.
> 
> A few things to try:
> 
> 1. Temporarily disable the Sonos Local app and test the flow editor, if the lag disappears, that confirms it as the culprit.
> 2. Check whether there’s an update available for the Sonos Local app.
> 3. If you haven’t already, a full power cycle (unplug, wait 10 seconds, plug back in) can help clear any lingering state after an unexpected reboot.
> 
> Let me know how it goes after testing with the Sonos app disabled!
> 
> Best regards,
> 
> Niels

So i’m gonna try disable this app to see if the lag is still there. But would be great if you could take a look at this issue in case this app is the problem.

Yeah, i also noticed your app is the reason my Homey mobile app is loading slow too. When i deactivate this app the Homey mobile app loads instant. With this app activated it might take like 5 - 10 seconds. Sometimes even 20, or my Homey will say it’s offline. I hope you’ll find the issue.
