Hi, I have Homey Bridge and I have a problem. I have inactive zone status in all rooms, and the main zone shows active all the time. The problem is that because of this I can’t get the flow “when I strafe inactive since …” any ideas? ---

Is there a motion sensor / door\_window sensor / cam etc. in Main Zone which keeps it’s alarm state active? B/c that would keep the zone active as well. ---

I am sending a screen from the whole house, see all rooms are not active except the main Home and I have no motion detectors, etc. ![Zrzut ekranu 2022-08-26 o 06.32.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/f/ef864a593315b42e714fc7af141ad89dc44c4c06.jpeg) ---

Ah, are any other zones subzones of ‘Home’? Because zone ‘1. Salon’ for instance, is / was just active (Balcony window switch) If a subzone is active, the main zone is too. The cams activate your zones as well. I don’t know why ‘Home’ is still active. Doesn’t it become inactive after x minutes? ---

I have all sensors, except for the three excluded from zone activity, these are motion sensors. I have nothing more from the devices and the zone, as it was active, is so and it does not want to turn off; ( ---

I think I found the culprit, in the developer settings I found information that my homey did not format to the factory settings and there were old z-wave devices, they probably pretend that something works … The worst thing is that when I test, Homey shows that the connection is correct and I cannot click the Remove button; ( Any ideas? ![Zrzut ekranu 2022-08-26 o 23.17.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/86a7d0f228944187a73fb27bffb934a936847b07.png) ---

Are you sure Homey Bridge has this option, I don’t see it? ---

Removing all z-wave devices, then ghost devices and deleting the entire homey bridge account and setting up a new one to a new email address helped. complicated but it works ---

Glad it’s solved. I forgot you have a bridge 😁, the zwave hints are from a Homey Pro 🤪🤗 ---
