Hi

Sometimes i have a problem with some Fibaro Modules. When i turn on or off the module, there does not work sometimes. The error is “request\_timeout”. If i try it a second time, it works fine, everytime.

 ![IMG_0773_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/a/acf633866a9f33b7101959e57783317be009d576.png) ![IMG_0774_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/9/971f193b38ea20f521f052eb8d020baa0fff01e2.png)

Is it possible to start a flow with a request\_timeout as a trigger like:  
When module X ends with “request\_timeout” then send the on or off command again.

Or, does anyone have another idea?

Homey V2 rc9  
Fibaro App: Beta 2.1.11 (same problem with the stable version)

Thank you for your help

now a make a “helper flow” that starts 1min after like “when mainlight is off then send off request again to the fibaro modules” the same with the “on” flows…

have anyone a better solution?
