[APP][Pro] WhatsApp - Simple. Reliable. Private

Hello Martijn,
thanks for your applications and very happy new year,
Maybe the tip has already been given (i don’t found), I want to know how to insert a CRLF in a flow message. I tried with ‘\n’ and ‘\r’ but it doesn’t work.
Thanks

Hey @YChabi
Thanks and happy new year to you too

You can just add a ENTER in the text field and it will convert to a line break in WhatsApp

Hello Martijn,
I have been using the application for 1 month and everything was perfect.
For 1 week, I haven’t received any messages.
So I uninstalled the app and reinstalled but nothing worked.
Do you have an idea? I created a diagnostic report 35c9a753-5445-459d-acf5-0d5fdd540720
Thanks

@NY79 hi
I don’t see any issue in the log
Can you elaborate a bit on the issue so I might understand it better

I created a flow that sends me a photo taken by a camera in the event of motion detection. But for a few days, I no longer received a message in the event of detection, including when I take a test.
THANKS

@NY79 can you try a flow card without the image and see if that works? I saw a error on the image. Homey couldn’t download it

in fact without the image it works well. I don’t understand why Homey can no longer download the image. So the problem wouldn’t come from the app?
THANKS

@NY79 thats what I was thinking indeed.

I can check if I can enhance the image downloading on the WhatsApp side. Already did that a while ago and that worked perfectly. But there might be 1 thing I can do

Edit: can you also please check if the image does exist?

everything is restored on my side. I reset Homey and my camera and recreated the flow with the image and it works again. thank you very much for this responsiveness.

Glad it works! :slight_smile:

everytime i send a message to my chatbot the app crashes. this is my diagnostic report: 1e36906d-a907-485f-9f8c-8c4b07cfcbe8

@Lianne_Strik looks like memory issue. Which homey do you have ?

I deleted a few apps and tried it again before I made a report but the issue is still the same. I have the homey pro 2023. I think I have like 400 mb left now in the homey’s memory.

@Lianne_Strik do you use the dashboard widget?

No not anymore. Some text went out of the box and my brain can’t handle that :joy: (software developer).

@Lianne_Strik would have been nice to have shared that feedback with me :wink:

But can you go to the device itself and click the clear chats button? It probably still keeps track of the chat. Athom didn’t provide a way to unlist widgets (in code).

Oh and if it has too much chats in memory it crashes. HP23 feature :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, sorry, I will do that next time. Thanks for the tip, I deleted the chats! I also have a widget for my app and have made a refresh button for it because the widget thing is still very confusing for me to make. I actually got whatsapp as an example but you write your code in a more complex way then I do :joy: so I didn’t understand everything but it was a great help for me to understand a homey app! I just made my app in 1 week and with 500+ users still 0 crashes so I guess it’s oke.

Yes no worries :smiley:

Oh nice that you could use it as inspiration. Which app did you make ?

Hope that was a good thing haha :sweat_smile:

Sounds good! I wish that all my apps have 0 crashes, unfortunately not :see_no_evil:
Hardware is still tricky to properly program.

I made the shopping list app. Yes it’s a good thing that your code is more complex :joy: I’m a junior/medior so still a lot to learn. There is a bug in my app on iphone so it’s still a little bit work in progress but I’m getting there.

Whatsapp does send messages to yourself, but you do not see that a new message has arrived. I am trying to find out how I can create another whatsapp account and use it dedicated for Homey Pro. I have now linked two whatsapp accounts to your app. Both accounts send a notification to both accounts, so I receive a notification from my wife and my wife receives a notification from me. By the way, your app works great. I am happy with it.
