I guess the solution brought to us here should do the trick also?

I thought good to share here because “there are many ways to do this’ grinning and because as Jeroen mentioned values are cached and he gives the solution to circumvent this. It’s possible with the API but it’s not a very clear solution since the values are cached. But you can do this; await tag('my-tag', false); // value is false console.log(await Homey.flowToken.getFlowToken({ uri: 'homey:app:com.athom.homeysc…

So with **$skipCache: true**  
`const device = await Homey.devices.getDevice({$skipCache: true, id: '45f27858-c506-4d3c-a800-1954d803e3e3' }); console.log(device.capabilitiesObj.measure_power.value); `
