I have a mysterious problem. Each time a zone is activated by a motion sensor, I get a message in my timeline that it is activated. Of course this is triggered by a flow that I created myself in the past, but I can’t find which flow that is. I think I have inspected all my flows, but I can’t find it. Is there a way to find a specific text used in a flow? E.g in a HomeyScript?

One way is to go to [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground).  
Run these flows, collect the output after each command.  
Homey.flow.getAdvancedFlows();  
Homey.flow.getFlows();

Then paste into a file and search.

I learned the same way to always add the flow name to notifications ☺
