Hello, I hope you’re doing well. I would like to understand why some applications that I download from the official Homey Pro website, and which appear in my account settings, are not accessible when I try to create a flow. Thank you very much for your help! ---

Can you give an example? (also, please edit the title of your post so it reflects your question a bit better) ---

Thank you very much for your prompt response. I have attached two screenshots. Please excuse the language being in French, but I assume that with these indications, you will understand my issue from the screenshot of my settings. You indeed have 13 different applications, but when I try to create a flow, I only have access to a portion of these applications, and I don’t understand why. Thank you very much for your help. ![Capture d’écran 2024-07-20 à 18.33.59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/6/968a180856b7b9852985081e80dead8e88071f5f.png) ![Capture d’écran 2024-07-20 à 18.33.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/df4225456467d95508781ac7d7b6d1d3d256f17c.png) ---

Often you’ll have to install (a) device(s) for an app, before flow cards become available. Note: for AND cards, you are supposed to use logics cards, when app cards aren’t available. Instead, with logic cards you can use all available tags from your apps/devices for use with comparisons or calculations: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/4/441f03af3920e71d7e4c61ca60dcdde612a747a8.jpeg "Homey: how to pick a tag from a certain device") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-9zO9khx_E) Detailed KB article: > **[Using Homey Logic in Flows](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/4410240765586-Using-Homey-Logic-in-Flows)** > > You’ve probably seen Homey Logic.
