If you have multiple motion devices for example, a tag like ‘Helderheid’ (lux) doesn’t show the device it belongs to. Even clicking on it, it does not reveil it. I believe the web version has a hoover function, but the app doesn’t. Please add this help me avoid mistakes.

After claiming in [this post](https://community.homey.app/t/variabele-zonder-naam-in-flow/52079/4) that it doesn’t work for me at all, I’ve now found out that the device/sensor only shows up in some, but not in all cases.

I think it depends on wether it is a control were you can only put in a tag, e.g. in logic cards (not shown) or when it is part of a string like in notifications (shown).

Don’t understand what you mean exactly.

Just 2 examples:

The device (Light sensor) is indicated  
 ![Lux](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/f/ff624bed5d28dcf2f44c6533a4c2b4788277df04.jpeg)

The device (any sensor with temperature measurement) is not indicated (not for both tags!)  
 ![Temp](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f78e96d3629af2b62dd18a96491bdae1adff35b3.jpeg)  
Btw, I don’t really know from which device the two tags are, because it was just a test so I took 2 different temperature tags out of the tag list.
