@martijnpoppen, i have the same problem like @Roy_Melzer When I need a new code, I lost all my connection and see now message anymore. I had to delete Whatsapp in my Home Pro 2023 and install whatsapp again and it is working. But all my flows, with whatsapp, I have to make them new again ☹ ---

@EdNL I don’t get what you mean with “I need a new code”. can you elaborate? and for fixing your flows you can use this: [[HOW-TO][Pro][Cloud] - Tool to FIX (advanced) flows after removing and re-adding devices](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-cloud-tool-to-fix-advanced-flows-after-removing-and-re-adding-devices/65018) ---

Sorry, I mean pairing code from Whatsapp Homey to my Whatsapp app. ---

I understand that it is the pairing code. But a bit more clarification on the situation would help so I understand what you’re talking about ---

Last week I suddenly only got the following message in my WhatsApp number: Waiting for this message. This may take a while. More information I then looked at what I could do but nothing worked. Then I thought, I’ll request a new pairing code for WhatsApp. This code, which you then have to enter in your WhatsApp app, did not work and I then removed the entire WhatsApp app from Homey, because I did not want to delete my WhatsApp app. So I deleted the WhatsApp app from Homey, then restarted Homey, reinstalled the WhatsApp app and then I had to enter a new pairing code again. I did that then and luckily, it worked again. But yes, then I of course lost all the connections I had created to receive messages in my WhatsApp app. Fortunately, I don’t have that many now, but it was difficult. That’s why I actually responded, because I think I had the same thing as Roy. I no longer received receiving flows and had to link a new pairing code. ---

@EdNL yes that’s correct, that can happen. and when it happens you’ll get a timeline notification saying that your have to repair the device and it works again after that. So everything is already in place for that ---

Lately I keep getting messages from what’s app notifying me that synchronisation with chrome/linux has completed. When I look in my inbox I see an old message generated by the Homey app on top of the queue so this must be generated by the Homey app? Not sure why this happens. I’m on latest iOS and Homey software. ---

@Marcus_Bitterling the connectionfrom Homey to whatsapp mimics a whatsapp web integration. In this particular case a chrome/linux. Whenever you open whatsapp web (normally) your iphone will tell you it’s syncing with whatsapp web, This is normal behaviour of whatsapp and can’t be changed ---

I understand but can you also explain why an old message sent last week by homey, suddenly appears on top of my what’s app messages? It’s like you just received a message but it’s an old one. ---

@Marcus_Bitterling no idea. Can’t tell you how whatsapp does this syncing. ---

@Roy_Melzer did you already try to repair the whatsapp device in homey when a new pairing code is needed? ---

@martijnpoppen yes I did try to repair the device (to enter a new pairing code) in Homey + Whatsapp this seems to be successful. As said, in flows they end gracefully but in the end no message is sent. Steps to reproduce: 1. Remove the Homey pairing from your Whatsapp-app 2. Repair the device + re-registration on Whatsapp 3. Run a flow to send a message (in my case a group-chat). Please let me know if you also face the same issue here? ---

@Roy_Melzer if repair is succesful then that’s the fix right? The app will let you know if it’s down there’s even a flowcard for it ---

Dear Martin, first thanks for developing this app ! To anyone kind enough to reply I apologize in advance for the supidity of my question, I looked everywhere before writing but am stuck… so simply : after installing the app on Homey I can not find the way to display the QR code to link my account ? I restarted Homey just in case but I have this great app installed … and am not able to connect (sorry if I missed the obvious) thanks a lot !! ![Capture d'écran 2025-03-13 172509](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/294a935e7b9b0c5a2e8a3d276bb672700107a677.jpeg) ---

Just to report that when I checked my Whatsapp device before a Homey migration, I must have caused a problem. Now I have an acclamation mark and repair does not help, its endlessly loading ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/f/3fe28d3786309cf6dae10793e17d80b8f6f3df6b.png) I will now remove the device and add again.
