I use a simple flow “when” zone is inactive for 15 min “then” turn of the light. Often the zone is inactive for a while (check in the app) but the flow is not triggered. Any ideas? I know i can use a timer app etc… but this inactive zone part is so intuitive I would rather use that.

If you look in the App - Devices at the Zone Above v the Studeerkamer ans Scroll to the Studeerkamer… How long is it in-active? ![Screenshot_20210103-002428_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/6/562b1488f0472f0a2559bec6b26b78359eb1b3a5.jpeg) ---

Sometimes there is a value but now the zone is active ( i’m in it) and there is no activity recorded or a value at a zone that is not active for several minutes now. ![Screenshot_20210103-002627_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/a/ca3f2a8d662995fb11a958776284674268cc37ed.jpeg) And now it is active ![Screenshot_20210103-004158_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/8/98127e80b9fba059d7ef383047d0e2e6c2ef4b86.jpeg) ---

With rc.43 and rc.49 I also had the problem from time to time. I informed Athom and they said that it is a known bug and they want to fix it in the next firmware updates. Please contact Athom as well. ---

Hi, Is this already solved? This is easier to use than work with ‘zandlopers’. When I test the flow the lights go out, but not automaticly. Frans ---

Oke, thanks. I did a lot of changes today because of changing to a newer Homey (before my holiday) so I will restart my Homey tomorrow after there is a backup done tonight… Hopefully this will solve it. ---

The restart was not the solution … But suddenly two day’s later it works. In the mean time I didn’t change anything. So happy I am.
