@Rrrr somehow the repair is still not working perfectly. it creates a weird memory leak which i cant really find, removing and re-adding always works..

I will check with athom as it seems the store of data is not cleared properly

Removing and reinstalling was straightforward as all the links to groups remained the same. Thanks!

Great app! I do have an issue where it causes my phone to no longer receive any push notifications. It does show them as unread. It behaves the same as having the desktop app open for example where all notifications will be silenced on your phone while using it on the desktop app. Is there any way to fix this?

@MRAJEKO  
Most of the time you can fix this by sending a WhatsApp from homey once and then the device will appear as offline

I’ve got the same issue, where I can’t seem to repair because it keeps loading.  
I have quite some apps that are using this, so remove and adding again is quite some work.

Hope there’ll be a fix somewhere in the future 😅

Strangely, I have two numbers connected. One does work, but for the other it doesn’t want to send a new pair request… It gives this error: Not Found: PairSession with ID 9ab44a53-6534-46fe-a1b1-f2e123620505

@Daan_Dagevos thats a homey app error, cant influence that.

Yep i know a fix would be nice but never found it.

re-adding is not that much work if you use this script: [[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)

That’s too bad! I get it quite often, specifically on this WhatsApp app.

The tool to fix flows is very, very, very usefull. Thanks man! Bought you a beer for all your support here and all other apps 🙂

Thanks for your detailed description

Try to remove and re-add the device. It’s a known issue that repair does currently not work for Whatsapp

Hoi Martijn,

Wat een leuke app! Dit maakt de Homey zo leuk. Ik kan nu m’n vrouw een berichtje sturen dat ze haar regenpak moet meenemen als Buienalarm regen voorspelt en een snapshot van de beveiligingscamera naar m’n telefoon als de bel gaat 🙂

Een vraag: ik heb het gisteravond geïnstalleerd, ik krijg nu steeds een melding op mijn telefoon (en dus smartwatch): “De synchronisatie met Whatsapp op Google Chrome (Ubuntu) is voltooid”, een tijdje nadat ik de service heb gebruikt. Op zich is het prima dat het gebeurd, maar die melding is wel overbodig.

Heb je een idee hoe dit komt en wat ik er aan kan doen (behalve meldingen uitzetten, maar dan krijg ik helemaal geen meldingen meer van WA)?

Groet,  
Jaap

Hi @PoJa84

Thanks!

First of all please translate your post this is a English topic

The answer to your question is this:

> [@martijnpoppen](#):
>
> 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

Hi @martijnpoppen,  
As said this **seems** successful but it is not in the end.  
To really fix the issue I had to remove the device and add it again.  
In the meanwhile I read the other (newer) messages on the topic and this seems to be a know issue for now 👍
