I managed to add my phone but now, when I try to send a test message I get this “Invalid mobile number OR Invalid group invite link” What format is the correct one for phone numbers? ---

@martijnpoppen Running v1.12.4 now. Even though it took some time, the Whatsapp app on my phone accepted the pairing step. Though, Homey gives me a (timeout?) message after several minutes: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/0/b0d80b671a3f3a973f8b45e4151527c4acb23896.png) ---

Great! The device creation/pairing worked! Sending a message to myself or a friend triggers the error message as shown above by others, even though it’s a Dutch number (316xxxxxxxx) ---

Apps is nice and quick, Thank you for your work @martijnpoppen ! I have 2 questions: 1. the WhatsApp linked device is called “Mac OS”. Special reason? I am using Android and Windows. 2. when I app myself via Homey flow, I do not receive an alert from WhatsApp. Is this a WhatsApp restriction? ---

Hey @Amersfoort 1. The Homey Whatsapp identifies as a MacOs. This was free of choice so I chose to be it a MacOs Devices ;). It’s just that we’re mimicking a Whatsapp Web instance so it has to be given a System which it “runs” on. So w’ere telling whatsapp that this integration runs on MacOs. Ofcourse I can change it to something else, but it’s mainly cosmetic. 2. Sending messages to yourself don’t give a notificaiton. This is native whatsapp functionailty. Normally when you send a message to yourself you already read it.
