In a number of flows, I send a push message to a device. With a growing set of devices for family this becomes a challenge. I want to send to a device which is not fixed. Recently I had to run through all flows as I got a new device. In the current setup of Homey, I can only send a pushmessage by selecting the device. How I can make this variable by for example using a tag? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/1397b0056bb9a291c1811914fb009d3e86b2933c.jpeg) ---

Hi, I solved this by using Telegram app. All push messages is sent to my telegram bot and I have telegram on all devices. So if I get a new device, just install telegram. Works very good. ---

I solved it by using Homey’s built in logic (variables). Now I only have to change one flow. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/25644d88555c7959cbb39c667c1209caceb506a7.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/c8e9e737c1daf399ccac3727f62ed7ae529b0237.jpeg) ---

The last one is indeed clever. Did not think of this solution. Thanks guys! ---

You’ll have to keep in mind that if you push the same message Homey doesn’t trigger the first flow. ---

You could fix that by adding a timestamp ---

I already did. That leaves the edge case where the same message, in the same minute doesn’t send. But I just accepted that. 😉 ---

Sorry, ignore my post below. I was using ‘push notifications’ where I should use ‘Send Mobile Push message’ > Hi… am I missing something? I send a pushmessage when someone is at the door, but only I receive it and my wife doesn’t. I checked all the settings in her app but can’t find any resolution. > (both on iPhone)
