first of all thanks for this app!!

But i have a question, i created my device and it works like a charm. But i have one problem, when sending a message to (my own) number i am not being notified on my phone.  
Did/do you have/had the same problem? and how did you solve it?

@Yustmenl you don’t get notifications from messages you send form your own number. So you need to use another number if you want to receive notifications. That’s how WhatsApp works

Still working on the rollout (Whatsapp), this happens automatically in updates, after which it is possible to add multiple numbers from your e-SIM in the normal WhatsApp. This means that you no longer have to use a WhatsApp company. But actually just put a one-time prepaid e-SIM card in your phone and use it for Homey in combination with your own WhatsApp, so you have 2 or 3 accounts in your normal WhatsApp. And you don’t have to use all the business stuff. As far as I’m concerned, the perfect solution for WhatsApp and Homey 👍

Is it possible to remove the landline blocking? WhatsApp does officially support landlines (at least for WA business, see [https://faq.whatsapp.com/1344487902959714](https://faq.whatsapp.com/1344487902959714)). I would like to use this app for my business account on a landline.

hi Martijn,

- Which Whatsapp version in Homey → v1.18.3
- Did you get a notification when you filled in your number → yes I did, got this pop-up on my iPhone:  
 ![HGpx8uox4U](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/7/273031fbf75a1546793a920f612971ec40a331e7.jpeg)

after clicking ‘bevestig’ I entered the code from the (homey) whatsapp-app after which I got the error ‘kan apparaat niet koppelen’ (on my iPhone).

- Did you try via mobile homey app or homey webapp (webapp works better) → via Homey webapp
