On a Mobile app you see the flows exists bu can only trigger, disable/enable or rename. ![Screenshot_20220628-171445_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/2/52c0c66bc826c68fbeb7bf6c5c03f52e4ad4187c.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20220628-171743_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/e/0e0c8558e87e650e801b115d07d7a1028ef5c027.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20220628-171804_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/f/3fef15dc8856fcf2453c0bc9ebcb533b0a97af26.jpeg). ---

That works on my Android phone. When I press the gear button in the iOS (iPad) app; nothing happens. Anyone got that problem too? ---

I paid for the feature (using PayPal) and got my PayPal receipt by email almost immediately. Now what’s meant to happen? Web app still doesn’t think I’ve bought it when I try to create an advanced flow there. Am I missing something? Firmware already updated to 8.0.0 before I started. ---

Thanks. Log off and on does nothing. License shows false in the developer api playground. I think the problem is with the store. The order status still shows as waiting for payment even though I got the receipt from paypal for the payment over half an hour ago. Surely this isn’t a manual process behind the scenes?! ---

I use v6.11.5.956 too, but on an iPad. Perhaps that’s the problem… Same user on both devices. ---

I seriusly love this 🙂 Just tried creating my first AF and i re-created a script that used to be a multi script. The nice thing is i could add more function support to the script that i wasnt able to have in the old and merge 2 scripts together to 1 AF. Alot better this block design for more advanced stuff. Nice work @Emile ---

I miss the possibility to temporary ‘disable’ flow cards with the simple flow editor. With the advanced editor, we can remove the connection, or move it to a next card in the chain (assumption). Question: Is the device (with no input or output(s) connected) still present in the flow when you save it and reopen it any other time? ---

After paying twice (seems to be a problem with the web store) I got this working. This is going to be a LOT of fun. Replaced 4 separate flows all implementing a thermostat using a temperature sensor and an electric radiator with a single AF. Much easier to see what’s going on now. ![Screenshot 2022-06-28 at 21.57.03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/6/767fef09592eb919399f3ef32fe2045469a9346f.jpeg) ---

Hi I’ve tried this super fuction, but I can’t get my lights to go off with inactivity card as a trigger. It works when I test the flow, but I can’t get it to work in real world testing. ![Flow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/8/d8855f4fdf8af4bf2bade1693eb537a8ca450659.jpeg) Anyone that can help me to get this flow working? ---

Yes, I triggered the sensor in this zone and waited for 1 min after it showed inactive, but the flow wasn’t triggered… ---

I think this is a bug related to the results of cards being interpreted differently. Will dive into it today will probably be fixed in 8.0.1. [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/faq-advanced-flow-infinite-canvas-infinite-creativity/65145.md?page=2)
