I want to exclude and include some ZWave devices that are malfunctioning. When I exclude a device, it is no longer visible in the flow it is used. I want to restore the functionality in the flow after including the device. Is there a way to document a flow so that I can look up how the device was used in a certain flow? Until now I found only that I can distribute/share a link to the actual flow. ---

Take a look at the [Flow Comments/FlowNotities app](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nu.fkey.CommentsForFlow/FlowNotities/). ---

> [@Aard\_Kleijnen](#): > > Is there a way to document a flow so that I can look up how the device was used in a certain flow? I had to do it: Added an virtual device (with same capability ) in the same zone as “Placeholder” opened the original Device, checked all Flows from that device. Added the corresponding card for the virtual device to each flow. After that you can remove the zwave device and add it again. Then Choose to do it again to swap all flows back or link the new device to the Group device (Much faster) ---

Looks like a great piece of programming, but I wonder if it works on Homey v5.0. The first problem I encounter is how to retrieve the Bearer-ID… ---
