For the “remote controlled” Brel motors on the Homey '23 the prefered position tab wasn’t working. Until now: Create a simple flow: “if this flow is started” 6x then change status in still ` [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/a/2afbd7b496c60dcef5b80b15b1669b9bec87b658.png)](https://homey.app/f/y3RwKw/) ---

😊 No, it is really a question. I wonder why 1 time, or 5 times doesn’t work, but 6 times does! ---

Try to understand, it’s simple and logical. Repeating 1 to 5 times and it doesn’t work, 6 times or more does work. I’ve tried it several times, how about you? Or still no addition from your side. 😊 ---

> [@Undutchable](#): > > Repeating 1 to 5 times and it doesn’t work, 6 times or more does work. Thanks, that was my curiosity. Why it only works after 6 times or more we’ll never know I guess. I just have never seen this needed actions before, to get a device “to listen”. ---

Good tip, but unfortunately this does not work for me. I’m quite disappointed in the apps developed by Brel. They had several different apps the last years; Brel ([Brel App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.brel-home.brel/Brel/)), Brel Home (app site does not exist anymore), Brel Motors ([Brel Motors App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.brel-motors/Brel-Motors/)). But none of them was able to steer my curtains to the preferred position. With one of them it sometimes worked by sending the stop command 2 or 3 times (with or without a second delay between them), but it was really unreliable. I even was in contact with their customer support, who where responding well but could not help me either. Their latest app (Brel - [Brel App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.brel-home.brel/Brel/)) finally has an official card to give the preferred position signal. But…. It doesn’t work. The only way I am able to steer the curtains to the preferred position is by using the remote and press the stop button for more than 3 seconds on the remote. So if anyone has another idea how to fix it I would be happy to receive more tips! I am using: Brel hub: DD-7002B Brel Roman Curtains (mono directional): MJE24D motors Brel “normal” Curtains (mono directional) Brel remote: DD-2700H Homey Pro (2019) with Brel app Is there an official topic for the Brel app? I only seem to find various specific topics and the website of the Brel app does not link to one support forum. ---

Dank je Undutchable. Maar helaas werkt dit niet bij mijn bi-directionele motoren. Wel bij mijn monodirectionele motoren. ---

There is a new version 1.3.1 where the author said that the preferred position is fixed. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/7/67bf7fe1d1a2d30b6bf9e80afc7c475dd04f6bca.png) However when installing it to homey, I am only getting 1.2.1 Any hint on how to download 1.3.1 or newer? ---

Good tip, thanks. Seems to work for me. Next issue I run into is the unreliability of the execution of the mono-directional commands. The “open” signal seems to work more reliable than the “go to preferred position” signal. But let’s see if I can work around that by sending the same command a few (2 or 3) times with enough waiting time in between. ---

Hey, Thank you for thininking for a solution with me. Your right about sending the same command a few (2 or 3) times with enough waiting time in between. But how can I create this iin a flow? Can you suggest me? ---

You can add a delay to a card,for example of 60 seconds so the flow will pauze there before executing the card. Or, with advanced flows you can add a “wait” within the flow, which does the same. ---

Thanks for thinking for me. Maybe i’m a noob in this. But can you show me how this is looks like in an example advanced flow?☺ ---

@Raymond1269 after sending the AND card you place a card Wait (wacht) add the time you want and send the same AND card again by placing it behind the Wait card. ![Screenshot_20240310_124213_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/8/7831779c04338da5746897ee959c8dc30f0b1a36.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20240310_124258_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/0/7028b4e76386e87ebbb0accbc0d77f317f94d20a.jpeg) ---
