@Michael_Fritzsche I did some search and seems whatsapp introduced a way to allow users to exchange messages without knowing each other’s phone numbers. I need to check how to fix this. > [@Michael\_Fritzsche](#): > > Since i do authorization to open our front door based on sender number (since i cannot control from which group i catch messages) my flow to order opening the front door by WhatsApp is now broken until we get correct numbers… Understandable, but nothing i can do about that, This is still a reversed engineered app built by a community developer ---

Unfortunately, it’s still not catching group messages, and now it’s also unable to send messages. I reconnected the app before testing. 3cc97a10-67f3-427f-9c09-a61b263c28ee P.S. We could also switch to communicating via Git to avoid cluttering this post with debugging messages. ---

@Michael_Fritzsche sorry steering blind here, can’t reproduce it myself. so will check the report > [@Michael\_Fritzsche](#): > > P.S. We could also switch to communicating via Git to avoid cluttering this post with debugging messages. Rather not, all communication for my apps go via the forum. I like to keep that that way ---

@Michael_Fritzsche I added a new test ---

Group chats are being received again, but they’re still coming through with the wrong number. Hopefully, there’s something in the log now. d941e300-6919-4824-9334-ce943026ab40 ---

@Michael_Fritzsche i see, the unhashed sender is not coming back. I see there are multiple people with the same issue (with the library i use). So we have to wait for an update there ☹ ---

If there’s a way to access the hashed value, I could retrieve it for all relevant users and adjust my filter to use the hash instead of the phone number. ---

@Michael_Fritzsche you already have it. That’s the +49 number you saw. It’s called a LID. So instead of +4112341234 it’s something like 49633489679925@lid ---

And this value is unique for each user? I would assume they’re using something like a GUID to avoid collisions… but alright, I’ll go ahead and update my flow accordingly. Thank you, and have a great weekend! I really like this integration. I’ve been meaning to dive into Homey app development myself—but first I need to find the time and figure out how to get started with a simple ‘Hello World’ project, alongside my day-to-day development work in a completely different context. ---

@Michael_Fritzsche yes as far as i see it’s unique per user. If I may suggest something. Duplicate your current flow. Disable it, so when the app is working again as it should you can easily swap your flows 😃 re app development, if you want to start and need tips, feel free to DM me 😉 ---

So we have to wait for an update there frowning i was trying to figure out what happened recently. upon reading the recent posts regarding changes this explains it. i suspect its not picking up the number within my flow because it also comes through as the wrong number. i havent been able to confirm this myself. appears you have already picked up that its affecting multiple people. i havent installed the test version yet but is it going to fix/improve at all? im still able to send whatsapp messages. the flows that are looking at messges being received dont work for me now.
