I’ve created two flows. None of them works. They work when I start them manually. The first one should start when someone rings my Ring bell. Then a sound should be heard on my Sonos speaker. The second should start when my dishwashers program ends. Then a hue lamp should light on and off. But nothing happens. What could be the problem? ---

Have you looked at any appropriate topics for the devices you are using? There is often a link to the topic at the bottom of the app page. There were problems I had read about with the Ring doorbell. But that may already be solved. And which app are you using for the dishwasher? If it is the Bosch/Siemens app it will help to restart it daily, automatically. Restarting Homey also sometimes wants to help. Posting a screenshot of the flows here might be easy so someone can see what you’ve created and if there might be something wrong. ---

Sharing your flows could help other users to help you. ---

Mike already had the right advice. It’s a bit odd you didn’t respond (yet) to > [@Mike1233](#): > > If it is the Bosch/Siemens app it will help to restart it daily, automatically. That’s because this app contains a bug. Please report to the dev, in case you actually use that app, thx. Support links are present at the app store page. ---

For the restart of the app you have to turn on Power user by section Experiments. Then make a flow IF time is xx:xx THEN restart app Home Connect. For the ring app ther is a topic for, the Ring app. First you can try to send yourself a notification to see if the flow works. After that add more with flashing lights or so. ---

I reported the problem with Ring to Homey. It was a known issue, but they couldn’t say if and when it would be fixed. ---

@ [Marc\_Van\_Schandevijl](https://community.homey.app/u/Marc_Van_Schandevijl) I dont speek Netherlads, but the second flow will only run between Mai and september, so in Mai, June ,July,August,September. that means today (January) i will not run at all and that ist correct. Switch to “between September an Mai”… I think that ould be the solution. Or am I wrong? ---

It’s a If…Then…Else constructies: If Someone rings the bell And Month between Mai and September Then Play Sound Doorbell3 Else Play Sound Doorbell4 So it should work always, but play a different sound depending on the time of the year… ---

@Thomas_Abel I think your wrong. IF the bell rings AND it is between May and September THEN Play sound 3 If not between May and September THEN Play sound 4 So if it is not Between May and September then Play sound 4. ---
