When I try this new feature with Siri my Iphone it runs succesfully the favorite flow. When I try this from my apple watch this isnt working and I get an error on the watch:  
(Dutch)  
“Sorry, er is iets fouts gegaan. Opdrachten zegt, “Start favoriete Homey Flow” kan niet worden uitgevoerd. Er heeft zich een communicatieprobleem voorgedaan met de app.”

The phone and watch are restarted

I get the same error message on the watch. I use siri shortcuts on the watch with scenes from ‘woning’ (probably called home on an english phone), and they work fine.

Today a new version of Homey app on iphone was installed. An apple-watch app comes along with it 🙂 . Siri shortcuts don’t work (yet) on Apple watch though. Hope this comes soon now Homey on apple-watch is available

It’s just a kind of workaround but it’s possible to start flows with Siri via the Apple app shortcuts and web hooks.
