Hi, I’ve created a flow that is supposed to execute after startup (this option is only available if you enable the ‘power user’ experimental feature). The flow only switches off one light, a zigbee driver. When I test the flow it works as expected, however when I reboot Homey is doesn’t run. Does someone know if I can check logs anywhere to see if it is executed but, for example, encountered an error? Thanks! ---

Maybe it is executed before the Zigbee network is initialized? ---

Did you add a delay for as long Homey needs to reboot and to load the apps and devices? ---

Try with adding a notification, push msg or log entry and you will see it works. Zigbee is still slow to initialize and the app should also be loaded. Test it with a restart then test when it works after the restart to verify the delay necesary then change the delay in the flow. ---

I’ve added a 2 minute delay, that does not do the trick. Do you have an idea about how much time it takes to init the zigbee network? ---

The push message arrives, so yes the flow seems to work. When I restart the homey I can control the lights after 1 minute. Tried to set a delay of 240 seconds in the flow, but still the light stays on. ---

Can you try to start flow 2 with a delay of fe 240 seconds and switch the light in flow 2? ---

This seems to work. I don’t know why, do you have an explanation? ---

It looks like Homey checks the device at the start /execution of the flow, If it is unavailable it will not delayed switch it. The check is delayed by starting the second flow with the delay. ---

Do the homey devs read this forum as well? Or is there another way to inform them about this (I would call it) bug?
