If I change the action, again only the action on top is executed. This is a flow to open and close my MotionBlind electric shades. The motionblind app detects all devices (3). Using them separate works fine, but combining a few actions together fails any time. What am I doing wrong ? I have a homey Pro with the latest updates. ---

Does it make a difference if you connect the THEN cards in series/after each other, instead of initiating them all at once? ---

Maybe duette has issues to receive 3 commands at the same time? Try adding a small delay to the commands ---

Fkey and SunBeech Thank you !! you both pointed me in the right direction. That was exactly the problem. The flow with the actions sequential and a 1 sec pauze inbetween works flawless. ![flow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/8/282494b8787a7350988001329965e4e48a3484ea.jpeg) ---

I suspect you can omit the 1s delays, while cards connected in series are triggered one by one already. Worth a shot. ---

I tried that but then it doesn’t work 100% ☹ So the 1sec delay is a safety measure. and bearely noticeable. ---

I see, I hoped it would be sufficient to just connect the cards in series.
