Hi, it stays on for 30 seconds, I also tried it with zone active instead of the PIR. I just created the same flow with a door contact of neo Coolcam and that does not trigger also. the only triggers that work are buttons, I am really puzzeled what is wrong. Ron ---

That’s odd indeed, especially the zone trigger should work while it works for me. You could try to reinstall the Homey Elevator, it can be a rights issue (a guess but it can’t hurt). ![Screenshot_20210719-211448_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/29014b94ecc10cdf0b4f55783583b0ab7dce2ca0.jpeg) ---

Hi I have a question. I have a neocam door contact(dc) to trigger the alarm for the barn but because I read that a low battery could cause false triggers I added a motion detector(bm) in the barn. And created a virtual device “barn security”(sb) I made a flow that when dc goes on ``` waits 5 sec if bm is on turns on sb ``` otherwise turn sb off if dc goes off ``` and bm is on turn sb on ``` otherwise turn sb off [https://homey.app/f/jbzd9K](https://homey.app/f/jbzd9K) Did i code this correctly with HOOP Thanks Ron ---

Hi I have another question. You can call the app simple log with 2 text variables. Group and text. There is no HOOP action card with 2 text variables How can i use these? Ron ---

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. A flow like this without the extra triggers works for me, but this flow isn’t. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I want my lights to dim time based (like the spline app does), but the dim value has to change with the sun. [https://homey.app/nl-nl/flow/uJdGeK/](https://homey.app/nl-nl/flow/uJdGeK/) ---

Hey Arjen, I will have a better look later, but I did see one await-dim lamp within the conditional part (before a Then card). Does it work when you fix that to after the Then card? ---

That’s really stupid of me. Should notice that before. I think I changed it when the flow was not working. But the flow works now. So it’s not a issue with Hope. Edit: unfortunately it doesn’t work. It looked like it. This is the changed flow. [https://homey.app/f/3I5nhK](https://homey.app/f/3I5nhK) ---

It’s really strange, suddenly al my flows with hope won’t work anymore. Didn’t update anything the last week. So I don’t know what’s wrong. Edit: I’ve removed the 2 new flows (they are the same as the example) and after deleting. the rest of the flows with h.o.o.p works again. So this is really strange. Is there a max of triggers or something like that? Is it correct that the folder with the hoop triggers isn’t removing itself while removing the trigger card? ---

Hi Arie No it always hits the first if but never the motion sensor is true. Although i am moving. Inside. So. I always get contact aan beweging uit. Addition. Found out the wait time is too tight. Will check with 4 sec. Is now 2 sec. Ron ---

Hey Ron, I have just added an actioncard for 2 textual arguments and succesfully tested it with the Simple LOG app. Just requested an update to the HCS, so it will probably be coming through today. **Just let me know if you require any another actioncard or methodcard.** ---

Hey Arjan, - No there is no max on the amount of triggers. - The HOOPInternal folder itself should never be automaticle removed no. - Flows within the HOOPInternal folder will be automaticle added or removed when the trigger is not used in any flows anymore. - For every unique trigger with unique arguments, there will be a flow created in the HOOPInternal folder. I will try to recreate the fault. ---

Hey Ron, Is the flow working correctly with the 4 seconds? If not, could you explain to me (textually) what you are trying to archive? Because i cannot seem to grasp what you are trying to do, since some actions seems to be the same within the Then and Else parts (perhaps this is more a testing flow then actual/real flow)?. ---

Hi Arie I have been testing. I found 2 problems 1. the hue motion sensor directly connected to homey dit not react in the barn. Did not send anything bsck to homey. Although there was a hue smartplug 1 meter away which worked ok. Inside the house the motion sensor worked ok. A bit strange. So i replaced the hue sensor with a sonoff motion sensor. Then it worked for doorcontact(dc) on and montion sensor on or off 1. in the flow when i want to trigger doorcontact off i had a triggercard instead of the doorcontact on card. That is why it went to the else at the bottom of the flow. This is the flow that works for all situations [https://homey.app/f/dypduK](https://homey.app/f/dypduK) In the screenshot below is what i did wrong after the elseif the correct card is the second card. I had at first the 3rd card the triggercard. Deleted the 3rd card and replaced with the second card. Now it works. ![Screenshot_20210831-234357_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/f/5f9626e153992cda770ae7c7fe4dd3db13243324.jpeg) Thanks for your help Ron ---

Hi arie, I have a similar problem as Arjan. Since i modified the flow above. My other flows do not work anymore. The thing that could have caused that is that i deleted 1 motion sensor from the flow to another. I have now disabled this flow but no luck. Update i deleted the flow i was working on now everything works again Any idea? Ron ---

Hey Ron (And Arjan), I need to find some time to test it, i tried it yesterday, but i received no faults. Any change you could share more info about the flow you made that made HOOP stop functioning correctly? Any more info, images or flows would be appreciated. ---

Hi Arie, It is the flow i shared yesterday. I have built more flows in the past with no problem Yesterday the 2 things i maybe did different then before 1. replaced a device with another 2. did some hesvy testing where it triggered the flow about 30 times in 10 minutes. If you need anything else let me know.
