So I have a flow that reboots Homey once a week (at 04:15 the night between Saturday and Sunday). I have this flow because Homey sometimes is a little buggy such as the 433 MHz system locks up. However, after this scheduled reboot Homey often loose the 433 MHz, the Zigbee system and flows are missed. This requires a manual reboot to fix. What can it be that makes Homey so unstable after a flow initiated reboot? ---

Did you check all apps are restarted after the Homey restart? That might give a clue. ---

How do I check that? ---

Thank you! I’ll check that the next time. So if I find any apps that are paused, how do I fix that they are not paused after a flow reboot? Should I do a double reboot with a delay in the flow? ---

If there are apps that are paused then contact the developer to see if anything can be done. One of my apps asynchronously reconnected to all the devices. At start-up when all the other apps were also loading, it meant my app took up too much CPU time and was therefore paused by Homey. I had to change my app so devices were connected synchronously and that solved the problem. I not saying that is the case for the apps you are using, but just one possibility. ---

I do the same, but after a reboot of Homey i also restart a couple of apps synchronously. For that i use a timer. 30 minutes after the reboot i start with my first app restart and then every 10 minutes after the next. ---

How do you trigger an app restart in a flow? ---

Enable Power User (…More \> Settings \> Experiments) Then, the item called ‘System’ becomes available in the flow editor. ![Screenshot from 2023-02-06 19-21-44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/d/2d821f806e4851f32d713dce1f59d4281fdd2052.png) ![Screenshot from 2023-02-06 19-20-24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/4/8419e0fa6d3cf618431658f34a333f4ff89c55cd.png) ---

Something like this Hugo? ![Skärmavbild 2023-02-06 kl. 19.34.29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/b/7b0a6e4d852296f72f22bc51aae05042d5a53de9.jpeg) ---

Yes, something like that. I don’t use advance flows (yet), but it looks like what i do. ---

Perfect! It’s going to be interesting to see what happens this weekend! 😀 I’ll let you know. 👍 I didn’t even know about the “Restart app” or “An app has crashed” cards. I did a flow with where I collected all the apps that I have experienced problems with that states When “An app has chreshed”—\>Then “Restart app”. I have always rebooted Homey when there has been problems with for example the 433 MHz system. From now on I will try restarting the specific apps instead…if the flow doesn’t work that is. ---

I did try a while ago the ‘an app has crashed’ carrd, but it didn’t work for me.
