@Nastybaloo so is the number you configured in your homey part of the group which you want to display on the widget? ---

@kooskortekaas Yes this is possible. Therefore you need to get the group answer code. Use the if card “New Message” and the Then card “Send Message” in the then card use the tag answer code. Now send a message to the group of your liking where you homey account is part off. Then you’ll get something like this [1234567@g.us](mailto:1234567@g.us) . This you can use to determine the group. ---

@FKey it gives this when you start the app. But probably it didn’t work on install as the card was not there yet I will check the AND card if it’s possible ---

@martijnpoppen, When sending a message it has as input: “Mobile number / Group invite link”. Why not extend the text with “/ Reply code”? I discovered (after diving in to this forum, the source code and logging all parameters to a google sheet) that you can also use the Reply code / replyTo / remoteJid as recipient. For me there was some guidance missing on what to do with the reply code. Btw. Thanks for this great App! ---

@bobvanoijen because the reply code only exists if you use the message received card So when you are only using this app to send messages that might be really confusing ---

For me it sounds logical that you only can have a reply code when your replying to an earlier message. It just wasn’t clear to me how to use the reply code. In particular, because it only said “Mobile number / Group invite link”. ---

Sorry! so here is the request via translation program: Hello Martin, I send Whatsapp messages from my cameras with a picture to another account that runs the Homey Dashboard. Unfortunately, the Whatsapp messages arrive on the dashboard without a picture, only the text is displayed. Can you help me? Best regards, Hagen ---

> [@martijnpoppen](#): > > can you elaborate with a screenshot so o understand what you mean? I reprogrammed everything again today, the Homey Dashboard WhatsApp function only receives texts, but no snapshots from my cameras. Maybe it’s because I used a landline number for Whatsapp. Maybe the sending of snapshots only works via a cell phone number. Best regards, Hagen ---

Hi, When I have loaded and activated the WhatsApp app on the Homey, I no longer receive notifications on the mobile phone (iPhone). I don’t get a message on the lock screen and there is no sound when I get a new message. All notifications are turned on. Is there a solution for this? Translate with Google. ---
