flow with kaku stopped working

Hi,
After a few days of perfect working flows with kaku devices, suddenly my lights do not switch on anymore, despite the fact that the flow runs, sends me a message the light will turn on, but nothing happens. When I look at the status of the kaku device in my homey, it looks the device is turned on. When I manually switch the light of with my homey app on my iphone and switch it on again, everything is working. When I test the flow, all steps are taken and the light switches on.
And now the real strange thing. When I reboot my Homey, the next time the flow starts automatically, the light is switched on. The next day, the flow runs, nothing happens.
Of course, I switch the lights off via another flow, every night, so the status of the switch is in off modus by the start of the next day.
I run the 0.9.2 version of the Homey software. Is anyone facing the same problems? Or does anyone nows what I can do to fix this?
Thanks.
Johan

My kaku awst 8802 switch and my kaku doorbell only work once. Kaku app crashes or something in the flow crashes.. as my kaku acd1000 outlet works fine, even when the doorbell and switch are not responsive. I think Homey stops listening to the triggers from the doorbell and switch. That would explain why the outlet trigger still works, as sending kaku commands is still fine, while receiving commands by homey somehow stops or crashes...
When I reboot, everything works again, but only once (except for the outlet, as that has always worked fine).
I am on 0.9.2.
I've tested with 0.9.3 to see if there were any improvements, and I just found out my kaku remote stops working when combined in a flow with better logic.
This flow works just fine:
But when I add the newly created boolean "TV"(also with a fresh install of better logic), the remote becomes unresponsive again after first attempt. Testing ON/OFF flows with test button works fine (sends 443 signal and z-wave just fine)
Removing the boolean from the flow, combined with a restart, makes flow working again with remote (now with just pulsing led as output). Does not crash. Adding the boolean again makes it crash.
This is the flow for turning off (and on) the TV, if its of any interest.
Meanwhile (1day on 0.9.3), my flows (kaku amongs others with betterlogic) are still working.... Keep my fingers (and legs) crossed.
I keep you posted...
Tried turning on/off sockets directly with one flow, and its the same problem. It successfully turns off sockets the first time, but then freezes.
Then I rebooted. removed KAKU socket from the flow, so just led ring and fibaro socket in "then"-column. Worked perfectly with the remote!
Rebooted again, removed fibaro plug, added kaku socket. Freezed after first signal from remote. So definitely a kaku app/homey issue.
As long as Homey hasn't sent a 433 signal, it listens nicely to my remote. After such a signal has been sent, it won't listen to my remote anymore - and a reboot is required to normalize. That's why my Kaku remote-activated flows only worked once (with a 433 signal in the output).
