Every time i turn off a specific device i receive a notification from Homey on my smartphone. I think it’s a “ghost” flow that i have made the first day to test the notification system. This flow is not on my flow list anymore but apparently it still exist and send me this notification every time (and drives me crazy). Is there any way to solve this?

In the web app, you can right-click on the device tile, select ‘Flows’, to view the flows it’s part of.

It’s also possible you named 2 flows exactly the same.

I should have precised that the first flow that i have made to test notification, i have deleted it after testing it. It seems that it is still there but not in my flow list.

Can you run this code

```auto
// use this for standard flows
Homey.flow.getFlows();

```

Or:

```auto
// or use this for advanced flows:
Homey.flow.getAdvancedFlows();

```

in this so called playground field:  
(First clear all pre-entered text)  
[https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground)

It should return all flows. Maybe it reveals something.  
Then you can use the browser’s search function to search for anything in the results.

YW.  
This is possible with this Device Capabilities app’s card:

As ‘Object type’, select _Variable_

Thank you for the idea. I tested it and there is nothing there. I searched for the text that i received by notification and it’s not there.
