Hi,

I’ve installed the following apps that won’t show up when creating flows:

Circadian lighting  
Google Chromecast  
Homekit controller  
Tesla Smart Charger

I just tried downloading the Spotifiy app just for a test to see if it would show up.  
It does, but only with 3 “then” functions. The app page shows many more.

I tried restarting my Homey Pro, restarting all the apps, and made sure that they’re all enabled.

Can anyone help me with why this is happening?

After installing the app you also tried to add a device with the + on the device tab?  
It is on the top right. On the pc and on the Homey tablet or phone app.

Thank you Mike, turns out I was being slightly clueless, and it was as simple a solution as that.

I seem to have the same issue. I just downloaded the EVE app and I added the power plug of Eve to Homey. So adding a device worked.  
When going into flow there are although no flow cards visible. I can’t add any EVE cards. Not in IF not in AND and also not THEN. It just isn’t there. It doesn’t work in simple flows and advanced flows.  
What did work is when I go on the device and then select create a flow. There it does give me the cards available.

I checked if there are any settings on the app that I would need to complete, but there aren’t any.

Did anyone come a cross this situation?

this picture is showing when I select to create flow through the device

This one is showing it when I go through the flow page to add a card. The app doesn’t show to be selected.

If it’s a Matter device, you’ll have to pick the devices’ flow cards from it’s zone.  
It won’t be available in the ‘apps’ section.  
Few apps provide for AND cards, because the logic cards are supposed to be used as AND cards.

Thanks. That helped and does work. Wasn’t aware that Matter added devices have their flows under the device only.

YW!  
I agree this is not explained well.  
Most of us use the _Apps \> device_ way to get to it’s flowcards, while the _Zone \> device way_ is the way each and every devices’ flow cards can be found. Downside, it can involve more clicks to get there, especially when you have many nested zones.

Also the search field at the top seems to be missed / not clear.  
It’s pretty easy to just enter (a part of) a devices’ name to have it’s available flowcards shown:

And Matter devices are not unique:  
for several other non-app generic Homey devices, the same goes:

- IR
- generic z-wave
- generic zigbee
- virtual button/switch/cam
