Hi, I have a flow with an Aqara P2 Motion sensor that’s been working nicely \> 1 year. Bought myself another Aqara P2 Motion sensor for another room and perfectly able to add the Matter device in Homey and it also shows up. So far so good. But when I want to make a flow with this new device, it’s not visible at all under ‘when’, neither is the other Aqara P2 motion sensor?!?!? And when I look to my existing flow for my other device and do a replace the middle section shows nothing at all, when it should normally list the device itself?!?!? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/1/4133223978b01a77216780cd3366ab44331b6770.png) Already rebooted my Homey Pro, but still the same result. I now have 2 active Matter devices for which I cannot create any flow anymore ☹ Any help greatly appreciated! Wkr, Kris. ---

You should navigate to the zone it’s in! ![1000044804](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6f22d585e380f5038c33b93fe1899f6c3b1c1abb.jpeg) Because it is “app-less”, you won’t find it in the app section. Or, why not use the search bar, ![1000044806](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/f/2faa42a690b6bdac9cfc75e1d3920cb46c69157c.jpeg) way quicker ! 😉 ---

Hi at all. In actually Homey version rhe menu “Home” not always appear in When-And-Than form. To be able to see Home menu sometime I have to go out of app on iOS and open again Homey app but it is not certain that there is. Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks ---

I use the zone activity events for that case. This way i do not need to bind to any specific device. Made my life a lot easier since you can have multiple sources of activity without knowing them. If you do not want specific devices to trigger zone activity, you can create a sub zone where only the devices reside that should trigger activity. Parent zones always trigger with all sub zones included.
