Hey!  
Is there a way to see all potential flow cards before actually having a paired device?  
I.E if you look at the Philips hue, without the bridge, and check the flow cards for dimmer switch (gen 3), you will just see a flow card that says “Button …”.

This would be a handy feature, to plan what hardware to buy based on its support in homey.

Guess what you see in the Homey Appstore is best guess you can get.  
There are fe drivers thst dynamically detected capabilities for Devices.

A generic Light device driver can fe show a set color. But pairing a white dimmable bulb will not have that option.

Same of course for other devices with other capabilities.

And afaik even not all buildin flowcards are always shown as that is dynamically during pairing.

Let alone a decice that is produced with 2, 4 or 6 buttons and in a newer model or mode has options for long-press.
