Hi. I am having problems with the flow, it shows green check marks, but nothing happens, 2 out of 10 times it will work. This also happens with the flow when I want it to set the ac to cooling. When i run them manually it works. I hope someone can help me with this 🙂

That would mean there’s an issue with the actions, or the connection to Tado. Does the Tado device work as expected in the regular Tado mobile app? So it isn’t shown offline or anything?

Yeah, I just tried the app now to set it to heat and cooling, and it works, it says connected under settings.

I think the main issue is: Homey fires all action cards at once, not in the order you put them, which can have unexpected effects, especially when sending commands to _the same device_.

Like:  
Then…  
-start card 1  
-start card 2 delayed by 2s  
-start card 3 delayed by 4s

The green check mark only shows the card was processing the command without issues; nothing more, nothing less.

Hi, that sounds like a good explanation, I added a delay now on both flows, hope this works out 🙂

It didn’t help with delaying the commands, any other tips?

OK. Have you tried the [tadoZones community app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-tadozones-community-met-geofence-verw-capaciteit-nl/63742) already? I think it’s way ahead.  
You can safely install it next to the tado app by Athom, and start testing.

This does not do the commands I want it to do, anyways thanks for the tip, I will try to figure out what causing this.

Thanks! Oh, you can always disuss functionality requests with app dev Martin, by posting a message in aforementioned TadoZones topic.
