The widget is simply a “Create flow in the Homey-app” (which only opens the app), and if I press and hold it, then press the plus sign to add a new object there are no available options to select from. Searching on the “add object” page gives no results. Are there any settings or something that must be done in the app or on the phone? Or perhaps in the flows?

Hello, Shortcuts to launch Homey flows fail 80% of the times. I can’t understand why … it seems a random behaviour… And when this happens, iOS Widgets doesn’t work neither ! Does anyone find the same problem? Any way to solve this ? This happens with last version of Homey app for iOS and also with Beta version with Dashboards. Version of firmware of Homey Pro is 12.1.0. Thanks ---

When your iOS shortcuts fail, do your iOS widget fail too ? ---

iOS 18 has this new functionality where you can protect apps with faceID. If you have that enabled, also no other apps can access any of the api’s within the app. - Do you have the homey app configured protected? If so, then no shortcut or widget will run. - Do you have shortcuts run based on health data like sleep schedules? If so, protecting the health app, will prevent these shortcuts from running as well. - Do you have any shortcut run based on data from any other app that is protected? These won’t work either. ---

Hello, I had not activated Face Id protection in any of my apps. I’ve checked it and it is effectively disabled. I guess must be another problem. Thanks for your help ---

Widget + Shortcut also I seem to notice that the automatic location based presence detection (away/home) is not working anymore. ---

Fully agree !! Away/ home detection doesn’t work well neither. Nevertheless I’m not sure if this is linked to Shortcuts and Widget problems (when Shortcuts fails, the widget fails too) ---

I would love to trigger sleep/awake from my iPhone. Sleep works well, awake never works based on shortcuts/automation. Has to do with how Apple handles the sleep functionality, apparently. ---

I don’t think what you are describing has anything to do with the problems in this thread. Automations around the built in sleep focus are just unreliable in general, but you can use a custom focus without problems (I will PM you with details to keep this thread on topic). This is about triggering flows not at all being possible from shortcuts. ---

Hello, 8.4.3 Homey app has solved Widget, shorcuts and localization problems for me. 👍
