Make the flow a fav flow, and then it can be started from the fav flow section in the app (or from mobile phone widgets)

Yes, same problem here! Some advanced flow’s won’t work, even if it’s a favorite! This looks like a bug! Please fix. I’m now running on update 10.0.0-rc.72  
They work manually from a PC or from the apple watch, but not from the mobile app!

I have the same (random ?) problem  
It seems that there is a difference if :  
it’s an advanced flow or a classic flow  
AND  
when it’s an advanced flow, if the flow starts by a "Start’ command or a “When” condition.

on a side topic, I cound’t figure why some flow have to be “activated” by another flow and others have to be “started” by another flow.

if anyone managed to get the philosophy,… I would be happy to see it.

Nu heb ik buiten ook nog lampen, dus ik heb een andere flow gemaakt die met (een andere knop) ook die lampen uitzet. Nu wil ik de tweede flow (buitenlampen OFF) koppelen aan de uitvoering van de eerste flow (Alles OFF).

Why is it called differently in advanced flows?
