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 ![]()

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.
@loy80y you could try the test version and see if it works for you. Would be nice to know if it does
ill give it a go anyway. for some reason im not even using the latest version of this app. currently have 1.30.0 installed. i have auto updates on also. tried installing and restarting the app. will look into it again in a few hours once i finish work and try out the test version.
tried the test version. my flow didnt work. it relies on a number being one of the senders in the group chat which then triggers an automation from my flow. i suspect its coming through with a different number listed in my flow.
is changing the format of the senders number the workaround? or is there a way for me to check what the senders number is?
@loy80y best is to wait until it’s fixed
If you make changes to your flow now you have to do that again later on
Would that be a fix you are planning to release or something that needs to be fixed on WhatsApp’s side? Happy to leave it as these flows that are triggered from WhatsApp messages received aren’t being used as much as I hoped. The rest of this app in terms of sending messages works fine so far.
@loy80y this app uses a reversed engineerd SDK. So when that is updated I can update this Homey app.
It is caused due to a change on the Whatsapp side.
This app is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with WhatsApp

@Michael_Fritzsche @loy80y See update above. Can you check if this fixes the issue with the senders phone numbers in groups?
didn’t work for me. just did a quick test now. added a timeline card to show the senders phone number and the text. appears that the phone number is still wrong. showing up as an entirely different number.
@loy80y yes that’s already known [APP][Pro] WhatsApp - Simple. Reliable. Private - #1552 by martijnpoppen
@loy80y please send a report

Please don’t post my whole number here.
I did run another test. Seems like it’s group messages received that it shows up as a different number. Created a test flow just sent directly to the WhatsApp number linked to Homey and my flow works fine. Confirmed using a timeline notification and the senders number is my number. Will run some more tests when I can as I’m currently at work.
@loy80y why would I post your number here?
The post I linked has random digits…
No need for more tests
The issue is clear
That’s why I sent you the link to the other post
