Hi folks. **Recently, I’ve started receiving false flow notifications and ghost commands affecting various devices such as the gate, doors, window coverings, lights, washing machine, and others.** This hasn’t happened just once, but multiple times enough that my wife and daughter have become quite alert to it. Has anyone else experienced something similar? For context, I have over 100 devices connected and a large number of flows running. I’m wondering if this might be related to system overload or some other issue. I’d appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. ---

[quote=“Marian\_Satko, post:1, topic:144441”] Hi …, it might help when you open the Settings/General page and see memory load etc. and report this here. There are issues reported with heavy loaded Homey Pro’s, though your issue seems a bit different. Did you “cold reset” your Homey? Inform the members here about your Homey device, firmware etc. ---

An app like [Audit](https://community.homey.app/t/101554) can help in discovering what’s going on. 1. Do you use additional hubs as well? 2. Main question is, what has changed when the ghost got into the machine? A firmware update? A new device? Stuff like that. 3. Is it related to a particular protocol, like zigbee / z-wave etc.? 4. Does “false flow notifications” mean: the flow didn’t run, but you see a timeline entry of that flow anyways? I’ve never experienced something similar. . A known issue is a notification sent twice at almost the same time. 5. What do you mean exactly with “ghost commands”? Is it flows getting triggered without any related events? ---

Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, I did cold reset a few times, not at oncce, but time to time. Used to help. ---

I do know the Audit. Will try. I didnt make any changes over year. Having daily backup and only adding new device when it comes. The portfolio is large and almost every protocol is include. But z-Wave is present in prevalence. 30 Zigbee, little wifi, and some RF if IR. The false (ghost) command I mean for example: in the office a Fibaro turn on the HUE lamp, itself, …or one of the garage door keeps opening and closing 10x in a row, or when washing machine finishes the other washing machine flow sending message that it is done. And so on. Weird, but must have logic behind, in the past I did factory reset and restore everyhing back, it helped for years :-), but reluctant to make this step. ---

Thanks. You first can try to reinstall the firmware, it can’t hurt (have a backup available, just in case): Howto for Pro 2023: [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-or-Mac-with-USB](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-or-Mac-with-USB) Other hint: When you can’t discover why a device is randomly turning on, remove it from Homey and re-add it. You’ll have to fix the related flows. If it’s many flows, there’s a [neat script](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-cloud-tool-to-fix-advanced-flows-after-removing-and-re-adding-devices/65018) to do it for you.
