Hey Bob, it suddenly popped up, the other day there was something really weird with the web flow editor.  
I was building and editing a flow. But it’s name changed multiple times to the flow name in the flow list on the left, when I hovered with the mouse.  
Those flows were in the same folder.  
And, Homey allows for duplicate flow names unfortunately (their ‘underwater’ ID is different though).  
So I’m pretty sure your flow has a different name, and has an equal name of another flow.

About viewing running procs and logs, that’s top secret for us owners somehow.  
One solution is to add log cards to each flow, so you can view what triggered OK and what should have. You can also determine if a flow ran, but some devices did not respond.

To be able to discover what your flows are doing and when, and how many times (per sec), you can consider installing Papertrails app, and _add log cards to all of your flows in just one go._  
It also adds ELSE logcards, if used.  
It even replaces SimpleLog cards if present.  
It doesn’t replace existing Papertrails logcards.

Goto (using Chrome of Firefox): [homeybackup.web.app](https://homeybackup.web.app/login)  
_Make sure you made a recent backup_

The script halts at the first broken flow, here you can find how to get a list of all broken flows, so you can repair or delete them:

Run from [Homey Developer Tools](https://developer.athom.com/tools/api-playground) I write this to remember what I did but also to inspire others that I know are better JS developer that can do more magic. (and hope they share to inspire!) WARNING: Be Careful! you can ruïne your config by deleting the wrong objects from there!

Then, select Papertrails at the bottom right side, then select Maintenance.  
From there just follow instructions.

Monitoring your logs / flows:

- Via mobile Homey app: go to apps/Papertrails and hit “Configure”
- Or via [developer appsettings](https://developer.athom.com/tools/app-settings) and select Papertrails.  
This way you can monitor your flows realtime, without needing to leave the mobile Homey app.  
Or, on a pc/laptop, you can edit your flows and monitor the logs with two browser panes next to eachother.
