Hi, all, one of my flows wasn’t working properly and when examining it, I found that the delay of some flow cards was showing on the card, but if I opened the card, the delay option was not active and I had to activate it to make it work again.

This must have happened during one of the upgrades of the system.

Is there a way to go through all the created flow cards and verify the correctness automatically?

Thanks

There are some ways to have flows checked for “errors”, e.g., missing variables or tags. But I don’t know if the problem you describe will actually be detected:  
– [Flow Checker | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.athom.flowchecker/)  
– [Easy checkup of flows and devices](https://community.homey.app/t/a/154980)

To be honest, I don’t understand the problem either. How do you activate a delay flow card? Could you maybe post a screenshot?

I’ve requested some additions to the SDK to allow for tracing flow. Like \<what triggered\>-\>\<what happened\>. That would allow me to add following the effects of some action and display it graphically.

</div>

This is the situation:

 ![IMG_5525](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/f/ef3b336423fe2ab98e000a2e591b8a9f942c6a13.jpeg)

The card says there is a delay,

But when I open the card I see this:

 ![IMG_5526](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/8/88d782a47118b731e44568ec79903ee38e753d1f.jpeg)

No delay.

So what will happen in this situation?

after I toggle the delay switch, it is in sync again

(Edit: I didn’t see your additional post when writing my reply)

Sounds like this old bug with the mobile app flow editor…

Here’s some perfectly working delayed cards:

- when editing such card, the delay suddenly is disabled:  

- after enabling it, shows the correct value again:  

- _ **when cancelling the edit, the delay is still there** _

BUT

- when you save it (without changes), the delay gets disabled!

### Mobile app bug: The toggle in the card editor for delayed cards should be enabled, not disabled.
