Hi.

I’ve made [a page](https://tiwas.github.io/SmartComponentsToolkit/tools/flow-doctor.html) to help people debug what’s eating their resources, and I’ve run into a couple of omissions.

This first one is partially solved by using postman functionality posted on the forum: The problem is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to check for the latest version of the app except from the manifest - and if it’s sideloaded, both the version fields come back as null values.

Is it possible to add something like that to the next SDK?

Also, another awesome function would be to be able to detect when something is doing something else. Like for “light turned on” - _what_ turned the light on, and did the “light on” trigger something else? I would love to add a function to trace flows to detect inconsitencies, but right now there aren’t many options.

Thanks!

I initially sent it to support and was told to post it here 🙂 I’ll open a “ticket” 🙂
