Background: In my case Homey is restarted (once and then) by Advanced-flow when certain error(s) are detected too many times in last 5 minutes (separate story…)

In most of the times all good after auto-restart (as all action-timers based on Chronograph-App.

But sometimes some essential Apps fail strangely - e.g.

- 433MHz sensors via Wireless Weather Sensors App “unavailable” (but when App then restarted , all good again)
- HomeyScript flowcards not available, if all looks good…

In both case:

- App is Then-“App is enabled” is TRUE and When-“App is crached” no trickering.
- On manual check (on each Apps-page) on app status all seems good (but can see e.g. that sensors down).
- No error are generated to timeline by system…

I solved temp. this (cheap and dirty) like below (for each app different / relevant test to see if error…):

Have anyone seen similar phenome and if yes, how did resolve it (manual follow-up not option for me…)

Seems similar to what I experience. For me it is always as result of a restart after firmware upgrade or a power outage, as those are the only time it (the HP2019) is restarted.  
The group app is always acting up after a restart, it will always “forget” a device or two in the groups and the only way to refresh its memory is to restart the app.  
Yesterday after receiving v12.3.1 i noticed a number of Advanced Virtual Devices used for energy meters had frozen, didn’t fully pinpoint the actual culprit, the setup is a bit convoluted.  
I get the feeling that automated restarts in most cases cause more problems than they solve.

I have this too…but it won’t be fixed by an app restart. Only a restart of Homey fixes it…until the 433 MHz sensor protocol freezes again after a random time period. I have no idea why this happens.
