Hi,

I’m trying to move everything to my new SHS. My old Homey is a 2016 model so it’s probably time.

However I cant import any flows, different errors for different flows when importing.

Now I noticed that some options are not available in the SHS. See example below, when starting a flow with “Date & Time” the SHS can’t start using “the sun rises” or “the date becomes” which probably causes my flow import to fail.

Does anyone know what i’m missing here?

Best regards,

Mats

Short update, creating a simple flow on the old homey with only a “if this light turns on, turn off another light” still gives an error when trying to import in the SHS.

It’s quite “funny” it doesn’t skip the cards it can’t find a matching device for. That’s the case for 99.9%, isn’t it?

Try the “[Flow Exchanger](https://community.homey.app/t/the-flow-exchange-r-exchange-your-flows-with-others/68981)”, part of the Device Capabilities app.

Hi,

The Flow Exchanger isn’t working for me, unfortunately.

For now, I’m using the “ALT” key for export/import.

Ah bummer. Would you be so kind to report it to the developer? You can use the topic I linked to.

The export worked before, but the window at the bottom wasn’t populated with the flow.

The flow was only in the clipboard.

I tried again, and now the export works. 😉  
It might just be a browser problem.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. I’m still trying though. Haven’t found any reasonable way to move flows.

My main problem is that the SHS is missing flow cards.

For example the “date & time” options i mentioned earlier but now I also notice that I can’t find the “A device hasn’t reported in X hours”.

Am i missing some way to get the default flow cards?

Thanks!

Mats

Never mind. Found another thread saying that flow card has been removed in newer Homeys.

Unfortunate.

That card didn’t work (very well).  
To keep an eye on devices still being there, you can use this fine script

Thanks @Caseda for your overview script wink Version 0.3 - updated for HomeyScript v. 3.5.1 Version 0.3b - fixed for THEN card (returning TEXT value), primary use-better use is for AND card though Version 0.4 - added option to filter out routers and/or end devices Version 0.5 - added option to exclude ZONES, moved varia…
