Hello, i’m experince dual flow activations (dual outputs) when connection and useing FOH devices trough matter from the Hue bridge to Homey. It’s like every flow is activated **twice** so one single press, will be handled as 2 x 1. single presses. Anyone else who have FOH devices there are able to test this? Please see theese flows below. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/7/772d87ef4e41af962d07626df0207e24706b6edc.png) Kind regards. ---

I do not know what causes it, but a workaround can be found in Advanced Triggers, where you can set a debounce (in ms) so it will skip the second activation. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/b/6b8a6572e1f19c60513de80184d761de3c1fc69e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f7da15db7e11b0083c27ba5c1069dc40a9dfc4d1.png) ---

> [@Rrrr](#): > > Advanced Triggers Hello @Rrrr Thanks for your reply. Indeed seems like a temporary fix for the issue, i will have look at it, but its very “overcomplicated” to do for each flow for 30 switches, so this is probably not gonna be my main solutions for the problem 🙂 ---

If you have a legacy (non matter) app for Hue, did you try to disable it and test again? ---

Havent tried that yet, but even if that was a problem, that something there needs to be changed firmware wise, we cant have protocol overlapping each other 🙂 ---

Correct. Since I do not have your friends of Hue switch I cannot reproduce your issue. Nevertheless I tested with a Hue 4 button Dimmer Switch. Here’s my “test” (even though it all goes as expected): 1. HP2023 2. Hue dimmer switch device on Matter: fires only once 3. Hue dimmer switch device on Philips Hue app: fires only once ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/0/1031216cf592ad01a15942fb58456ed735848bb7.png) ---

Indeed. I’m only experince this issue for connected FOH devices, a native hue dimmer, does not double triggering here aswell. ---

Did anyone find a solution for this? I have the same problem and have worked around it by flipping a Yes/No variable, but it seems this solution is eating some time compared direct control.
