@Ad_van_Liempt see above šŸ™‚ 1.16.2 should fix that weird behaviour again ---

Hey @martijnpoppen RAM usage is very much the same, around 40MB, CPU spikes from time to time but overall fine. Thanks so much, this is amazing! Out of curiosity, would it be technically possible to have it the other way around? Like not destroying the client all the time, keeping it open to be able to receive messages? And the messages can be stored in variables? Would mean it would be possible to remotely control homey via WhatsApp (how cool would that be)? ---

@Flyto nice !: D Yes it is technically possible, but it will keep your Whatsapp online all the time. So no notifications. on your phone or whatsapp web as Homey reads them first. So i removed that functionality, but maybe i can add it at a later stage, but have to think trough how i want to do this šŸ™‚ ---

> Yes it is technically possible, but it will keep your Whatsapp online all the time. So no notifications. on your phone or whatsapp web as Homey reads them first. But that would only be the case if you use our own number right? Not when you have a separate (prepaid) number just for homey? ---

Got it, would it be possible to simply enable it back via a settings-option? Because for everyone using a WhatsApp business account with a different phone number itā€™s irrelevant no? ---

Makes sense, but having a settings option might be very easy to implement and everyone can device how they want it, or as you say, the ability to enable and disable the option with flowcards (e.g., keep the line open for 30 seconds after a message has been sent) Recieving a notification via WhatsApp and being able to take action right away would be insanely awesome ---

It remains a strange story, just connected my wifeā€™s iPhone without any problems. Vodfoneā€™s prepaid keeps trying endlessly but fails. What is also strange is that even though the code has been entered correctly, it says ā€œincorrect codeā€ twice, while I am not 100 but 200% sure that the code is correct. And if I do the same in a normal browser, it connects immediately. Or it depends on the prepaid number, but why does it do it in the browser? ---
