Hi everyone

Basically the same issue as mentioned here:

> [@Siri shortcuts (Automatisering)](https://community.homey.app/t/siri-shortcuts-automatisering/99360):
>
> Homeys, Al lange tijd gebruik ik siri shortcuts om mijn vrouw en mijzelf als wakker of slapend te markeren. de opzet is dat zodra de telefoon aan de lader hangt er een basis flow word gestart. deze basis flow activeert vervolgens een advanced flow met daaraan enkele voorwaarden voor een juiste markering. dit heeft een lange tijd erg goed en accuraat gewerkt. Nu wilt de siri shortcuts al enkele dagen de flow niet meer aanroepen. hij ziet mijn favoriete flow niet meer. bij het opnieuw proberen…

I’m trying to create an automation that when i silence my alarm, the curtain opens and some music starts playing. I do this from the apple shortcuts app on my iphone:  
Automation → New Automation → Alarm → Is stopped, execute immediately → next  
If i the choose the homey app to select the flow I want to use, shortcuts crashes.

The issue mentioned above suggests a workaround, but from what I have been reading so far I think this should just work without any workarounds.

Are there more of you having this issue? Could it be a bug?

Shortcuts crashes for m2 every time I try to select Homey. So must be a bug

Update: Since the latest update of the homey app, it doesn’t crash anymore.  
Now I can choose New automation → alarm (when alarm is turned off) → Start Homey Flow.  
Unfortunately, I don’t see an option to choose the flow I want it to start.  
So, some progress, but still no working automation.

Any hints/tips/solutions?

You favorited some flows, [right](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-using-siri-shortcuts-for-activating-flows-with-pics/7473)?

Yes, the flow I want to use is favorited. I unfavorited and favorited it again just to be sure, but that doesn’t make a difference.
