Hi there,

does anyone knows how to copy multiple flows at one?  
I like to copy all the flows from a KlikAanKlikUit Remote (AYCT-102 with 40 buttons - virtual) for 3 more remotes that I have, so I don’t have to copy them one by one…

Thanks.

Hoi iedereen,

wie weet hoe ik meerdere flows in 1 keer kan kopiëren om zo niet steeds de flows 1 voor 1 te kopiëren, want heb nu een KlikAanKlikUit Remote (AYCT-102 met 40 knoppen - virtual).

Alvast bedankt.

Afaik not possible. Using the web app you can copy flows pretty fast 😬  
But, I’m curious, what is your plan?  
Do you want to be able to trigger the same flows with 4 remotes?

My plan is to copy one Remote to multiple ones so I only have to change the flow to activate, and all the channels, buttons and on or off…  
But indeed also to able to trigger 1 item from several remotes

It would be so easy if that would be possible

I thought of the \< group \> app, but I cannot add my kaku remote somehow.

Copying the remotes is not possible I think, you’ll have to pair each remote with Homey.

I was thinking of using virtual knobs, or boolean logics variables.  
Creating knobs takes more time, but  
with knobs you can use Homey as remote too. Example:

 ![Screenshot_20220312-162224_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6cb5df2077b58a02a347fa29a601c424e0fd9709.jpeg)

Creating boolean variables is a lot less time consuming. Example:

 ![Screenshot_20220312-162337_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/b/9b40a0475bd610341e4fd7d80e118a9e67733b75.jpeg)

Coding explained: K(aku).R(emote) Ch(annel)1 B(utton)1

.  
We have to create flows for every unique button (f.i. Remote1 - Channel1 Button1 On), which activate the common virtual knob or flip the common variable to Yes or No; that’s 4 x 40 = 160…

Example for Remote 1:  
Code: R1.1-40 = R(emote)1 flow1 of 40 flows  
(‘ingedrukt’ = pressed)  
(‘druk op de knop’ = push the button)  
(‘keer om’ = flip)

_At THEN I used both knob and variable, only the preferred one is needed_

And so forth, until button # 40,  
“Channel4 Button4 Off”.  
And then, a similar flowset for every other remote.

.  
We need one knob or variable and one flow for every common remote button  
(f.i. Channel1 Button1 On), that’s 40 each;  
Examples:  
Using the variables:  
(‘veranderd’ = Dutch for ‘changed’)  
Channel1 Button1 On

Channel1 Button1 Off

Using the virtual knobs:  
Channel1 Button1 On

Channel1 Button1 Off

And so forth, until button # 40,  
“Channel4 Button4 Off”

Build time:  
Well, 160 + 40 = 200 flows  
40 knobs or variables  
3 mins a flow + knob/var = just around 10 hours 😬😉
