Hi all , I do have a question about something I can’t make it to work. Maybe it’s an easy fix, but I don’t know how to deal with it. Situation: I have 3 screens which I connected with Homey through Matter. I made a good flow which works quite well, although I would like to see on my timeline at a glace which screen has been opened/closed. I could make a timeline message for each and every screen, but it should also be possible with tags right? This is a part of the flow I made: ![Screenshot 2026-02-24 22.54.44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/3/f3051d8c2372e44e05bab6f185725a90358db396.png) At the end of the flow (So after the mobile notification) I would like to make a timeline stamp to say which screen (Achterdeur/Slaapkamer/Gardeobekamer) is closed/opened How can I achieve this with tags? I tried help from Gemini and also searched on the community but I can’t make it work…. Hope someone here can tell me in an easy way how to approach this 🙂 ---

Anyone? ---

IMHO you can have 2 notifications: contact-alarm on: ‘back-door is still open’ contact-alarm off: ‘all screens are down’ ---

Hi @Wim_Post Thank you for thinking with me, but that’s no exactly what I mean. I want to have logic been used to let me know which screen is open/closed in the timeline. ---

In the textfield of the notification: if you click the tag button and fill the device-name in the searchfield, what tags are listed? ---

There are no tags. That’s the whole thing 🙁 I added my screens through matter. I can see the status of the screens and the percentage they are closed/opened on Homey. I want to use logic to have a better overview and to make it easier for myself for creating extensive Flows ---

> [@Borssie](#): > > There are no tags. That’s quite odd. What capabilities are shown when you look up that device in [https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices)? Looks like this ![Screenshot_20260226_231320_Vivaldi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/c/5c0035e70febf274a1cbb803dcc367ac6f850f5c.jpeg) When there’s capabilities in there, there should be tags as well ( in theory 😉 ) ![Screenshot_20260226_231831_Vivaldi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/dfd52ff2b9bc2d39e1759841f64d26001a4d1f00.jpeg) ---

Goedemorgen/Goodmorning @Peter_Kawa This is the list of capabilities one of the screens have. I’m just wondering how to implement them using tags (to identify them independently) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/9/391d618007ad22c77efb58db6c5061aef5284dd5.png) ---

Just to be sure, you are using the timeline card? (the timeline cards are missing in your initial flow). I don’t see any reason why tags in the timeline card wouldn’t show any capability for the device (as Peter\_Kawa screenshot shows). To identify them independently you’ll have to make sure you select the right one (in Peter\_Kawa screenshot it shows the device "Rolgordijn Achter… " ---

Hi @Anoniemand , I haven’t posted my complete flow. I will check both messages from you and Peter about the capabilities. Thanks both for helping me
