I have a pro for 1.5 years now and it always worked fine. But lately time based flows like ‘every 5 minutes’ or ‘20 minutes behoren sunrise’ stopped working. I have no idea why this happens, nothing is changed in any of those flows. A simple flow like pushing a button and thans a light on works fine. Anybody ideas on what this could be. ---

Maybe the action that should run (after that when card) doesn’t work as expected? You could add a “Add to timeline card” on the error side and use the “error” tag to see what’s going on. You can add more of these cards (after each flow card) to have some kind of logging to see what’s going on. ![error log](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/4/f44f49e6937b24f1f15fc77327e1b3b53a4e7a5b.png) ---

Thank you, i will try this to see what comes out of it. However, when i start these flows by hand they work just fine. ---

> [@WillemB](#): > > However, when i start these flows by hand they work just fine. That’s because you replace the actual trigger. So, if the trigger is the problem, you’ll discover that’s the issue by test running the flows. ‘every 5 minutes’ or ‘20 minutes before sunrise’ both are flow triggers. I’d like to suggest to report these issues to homey.app/support. Possible fix: Sometimes the internal clock is off. You can “force” it to the right time by navigating to More… \> settings \> location in the mobile app. Now move the pointer on the location card to an other timezone. After a minute or so, move it back to Homey’s location. This should do the trick of resetting the internal clock. ---

I have contacted support, and also reset the clock. I do hope to find the issue, because a lot of flows are time based. ---

Just make a simple time flow and see if that one works. In that case remove the time card from the flow and make a new identical one, to see if your problem is gone. ---

Resetting the clock did the trick. For now the flows seems to be working
