Hello, I feel you are everywhere in homey app @martijnpoppen šŸ™‚ I did not find the solution in FAQ so sorry if solution was given previously, Is it possible to get image tag of a received message to use it in different apps (gallery, ā€¦) ? Thanks for your time ! ---

Hi Martijn, Thanks for this great app, use it mainly for sending commands to Homey Now getting into Homeyscript, trying to extracts parts of a message sent to Homey , as there seems to be no variable generated with the message received (?). Just a test if text = or text contains I was assuming it should be something like: let bericht = args[0].text OR let bericht = args.text But that doesnā€™t work, can you explain how that can be done? Thanks a lot in advance! Specific use: ā€œlaad 70ā€ would change a variable to 70, making my EV to charge up to 70%. Instead of opening Homey app, going to the variable and manually changing the variable ---

@Ronald_B can you provide a screenshot of what you mean? The message received does contain tokens you can use in your flows However when you test the flow itā€™s not there but that due to that the tokens match against a real message and a test of the flow is not a message Tokens which are generated; ![IMG_8255](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/5/6536d15b50455284cbc8cdddc21cb2edd3fc0c1a.png) ---

You were quick as always, unbelievable! Anyway; I can see how you can check for a value, sender, time etc. Not how to save, or do string & value calculations with a received message. Was hoping that would be possible, or could be created ---

@Ronald_B for that I could recommend the Flow Utilities app šŸ™‚ That can do a lot of things without the need for homey script and has built in variables ---

Hi, I got two phone number connected to my phone. To get them both going on the phone at the same time Iā€™m using WhatsApp Business. Now I am trying to connect the WhatsApp Business phone number through your app to be able to send myself messages from Homey AND get the standard Whatsapp to ring the notification (which is not the case if i use the same number). But for some reason the messages Im sending is not coming through! Has this got anything to do with the setup through WA Business or am I doing something wrong? ---

@martijnpoppen Thanks for a speedy response! I back tracked a little bit on my installation and it turns out the Whatsapp integration with my ā€œnormalā€ number didnā€™t work any more either. Everything ā€œlooked rightā€ to me, but I decided to do a reinstall from scracth of the app. And now both numbers work! Thank you! ---

I figured I wanted to give som feed back on my own issue here! What seems to happen is when I add a second Whatsapps device (with a separate number) both devices seems to ā€œfreezeā€ in Homey, with no messages beeing able to be sent from either number. This is what must have happened the first time, and it happened again today. Same remedy both times: uninstall and reinstall the app an add the number (just one though) and everything works again! ---

@O3car oh thatā€™s interesting. Iā€™ll push the test version to live soon, that will probably resolve that issue ---

Hi Martijn, Since a couple of weeks my device is stopping/crashing every time. I see notifications about new pairing code needed. Creating a new device only helps for a short time. But creating a new device every 1 or 2 days is not really an option. The repair function only shows a white screen that is non-stop loading. Could you please check whatā€™s happening when you have time? f9e931d0-29d2-411b-b1a0-026210167dca Thanks! ---

Hi Martijn. Thanks for a nice app šŸ‘ I have tested it since summer to send simple warnings from some flows, and I like itā€™s better than Homey native push notifications. Two days ago the app sent a message to the timeline: ā€œNew pairing code is needed. Please try to repair the device.ā€ When tried to repair, it leads to a white screen with rolling icon + text ā€œLoadingā€¦ā€ and does not continue further from that, except sends the ā€œNew pairing code is neededā€ to the timeline again. Restarting the app or Homey does not help. App version v1.36.1. Diagnostic report e5324c45-dd1d-4ece-81ee-2130f3b451ca ---

@Raita_Kallio already replied to your report But sometimes the repair fails Only option you have is to remove and re-add the WhatsApp device ---
