Return Card not working Homey 2023

[tf]

I think the return card is not working om Homey 2023. However I try to configure this in an advanced flow it doesn’t return any values.

I tried your own example (attached below) to be sure. No luck.

Thanks in advanced.

Perhaps because you have 2 same flowcards When with the same names.

if you remove the lower trigger, does it work than?

[tf]

No, it doesn’t. Unfortunately. The log is blank. (The bottom line returns the id.)

Okay, it's not working correctly on the hp2023, i see, i have the same issue.

i'll look into asap, I hope tomorrow, else this week.

Okay, i cannot solve this myself, it’s a bug in HP2023, i have created a ticket with Athom about it:
homey-pro-early-2023 - Homey Community - 2 new items - Slack

Hi Arie,

Too bad it’s a bug in H23 rather than in your app. ;-) The latter one probably would have been addressed far quicker.

Hopefully Athom will take this bug badly as it is seriously hampering the usability of not only this app, but Advanced Flows in general.

Thanks for having investigated this bug.

[arie]

Well, Emile’s first reaction was that it is not a bug, but intended behavior.
I hope the fix it, but it might be that it will not.

Personally, that means nog migration to HP2023 for me.

See the link of slack above, and, please leave a message, the more people that let them now this is needed, the better!

[tf]

I don’t have an account there yet. But I might just register for this one.

[arie]

Let me know when you have an account, i can pull you into the specific group

[tf]

hi Arie,

I finally pulled the trigger and got me a slack-account for this purpose. How does it work you inviting me into this specific group?

Thanks

[arie]

what is your slack accountname?

‌

[tf]

kw9qrr4jr4 (just a randomized iCloud-name I guess)

[arie]

i cannot find you with that. Whats the mailadres you used?

[tf]

[e-mail]

[arie]

are you already in the Homey Community slack?

[arie]

i have invited you

[tf]

Thanks! How long should it take for me to get it? It’s not instantaneous …

[arie]

Perhaps first you need to apply to the slack site first:
athomcommunity.slack.com

[tf]

Sorry I mistakenly gave a wrong adress

[arie]

lol

[tf]

it should have been [e-mail] apparently

[arie]

But can you already login into athomcommunity.slack.com?

‌

[arie]

welcome ;)

[tf]

Yes, I’m in!

Thanks again. Will have a look at this new communication-platform. ;-)

I'm having the same problem… the return card is not working. Which is bad news, because Advanced Triggers with the return card seems to be only way in Homey to build a flow library of reusable functions with call parameters and return values. Neither advanced flows nor normal HomeyScripts can return values to calling flows.

Is that by design in Homey? Emile’s reaction seems to lead into this direction.

Best, Torsten

“Is that by design in Homey? Emile’s reaction seems to lead into this direction.”
Yes it seems like, so perhaps you can also leave a message on the slack that you want it changed. The more people complain about this, the better.

I don’t have access to the athomcommunity slack workspace… but I have an account on slack… [e-mail]

[arie]

okay, mail has been send and approved by athom.

homey-pro-early-2023 - Homey Community - Slack

[Torsten Sturm]

ok, now I have access

‌

[Torsten Sturm]

since release rc-139, the wait on completion of flows works again… but only for new advanced flows. Already existing flows with StartAdvancedTrigger Card returns immedeately and all tags are empty.
When I copy the flow cards of an existing flow to a new flow, it works again.

Solved in latest homey version.
