@Lamkram If you find any **issues** , send a **report** via the mobile homey app

> More - apps - Whatsapp - settings wheel right top - send diagnostic report (put your email in the input field to make it easier)

Edit: try to connect via the webapp might work aswell 😉

@FERRY_Dekker unfortunately not much i can do. This is something in your network.  
But maybe when you try again it will work…it also depends on the servers of whatsapp ofcourse

@martijnpoppen I was wondering if you have looked at implementing " WhatsApp Poll’s" as additional feature?  
Would be great to have this as a feature to interact with Homey by selecting a bullet rather than entering text.

Thanks for looking into to this!

I asked ChatGPT and it returned this - but no idea if it real or hallucination… 🙂

```auto
# Construct the poll message payload
poll_message = {
    "to": "whatsapp_number@s.whatsapp.net", # Replace with the recipient's WhatsApp number
    "type": "poll",
    "poll": {
        "name": poll_question,
        "options": poll_options
    }
}

```

Yet searching the web I found this:

> **[How to use polls as buttons? | Help Desk](https://support.whapi.cloud/help-desk/hints/how-to-use-polls-as-buttons)**
>
> Creating polls as an alternative to interactive buttons in WhatsApp

@Ollem haha. This app uses a different Method. Which is using the WhatsApp web websockets. So is not the same as you send me

@FERRY_Dekker and it worked once?  
Then probably the connection is lost again

Please send a diagnostic report after running this flow again

@FERRY_Dekker yep connection has dropped. Try to repair the connection via the repair device option. In the Homey webapp right mouse click on the whatsapp device and press repair
