Hi Martijn tried this. Also Reconnected Whatsapp again to see if that helps. Homey self hosted server 1. Send message via homey to another number → Works !😍 2. flow → a new message has been Received → Homey mobile → Send message Whatsapp received to (ME) → No message 😑 or is this testing flawed ? Thanks in advance 😀 a9671610-27dc-4b17-9ba7-4445f6c43790 ---

@Rob_Reinderink enable that you want to receive notifications from yourself in the device settings. There’s a option for that ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/8/887c3c6e0852126040135533b4aa944c659d500e.png) ---

Hi Martijn, When do you espect the new sdk? The last few months I have that i need to fix Whatsapp a few times. Sometimes after a few days I think, I am missing something. Because of this, I am now throwing Whatsapp away and I am going to Telegram, as they are working through Api and don’t have this issue with connecting again your telephone number. Need to create a new token etc… I have used it more then a year without any issues, but this is just crap and don’t help you either. ---

@smv I hoped december, but it’s still not there. There’s not much I can do unfortunately, I tried fixing performance in october but that didn’t work out. I have not enought knowledge of the inner workings of the whatsapp sdk. It’s quite a big project and it’s really active so I do expect a update somewhere in the coming month. → [GitHub - WhiskeySockets/Baileys: Socket-based TS/JavaScript API for WhatsApp Web](http://github.com/whiskeysockets/baileys) ---

Reinstall doesn’t work at all. Tried to reinstall the app, reinstall the device restart hoomey and then do tge same. Nothing worked. It seems that the app doesn’t work when you’ve been kicked out of it. The app will crash at connecting. ---

@Chillout this is a whatsapp update issue i guess. I’m still waiting for the SDK to update which should resolve these things. What might help is opening the whatsapp app on your phone and a additional whatsapp web connection ---
