Homey 1.3 Experimental

At least now Athom knows there is a potential problem and they should contact @jorden to see the cause of this problem. It might be due to a specific app in combination with RC11, but what ever it is, it should be investigated.
If someone reports a problem, it would be better if others who don't have this problem don't respond, but others who have the same problem also reports it. That would help Athom to find a common ground and therefore the root cause of the problem.
As extreme example, if you want a flow to trigger on a Saturday at 8:00 am you could create a flow a flow which checks every minute of the condition is met that it's Saturday and 8:00 am or you could create a flow that checks every 08:00 am is the condition it's a Saturday is met. The first flow runs every minute and the second on once a day.
In this case it's obvious that it can be optimized but there are more cases where optimization is not that obvious.
I can imagine that flows that run often slow down Homey.
Athom should be ashamed if they say that they don't keep in contact with the community, because it is too much work. Wow. By the way, it really isn't and I am convinced that they see whats going on on this forum.
Please contact support@athom.com or if you are on slack directly with @JeroenVollenbrock.
I had the same on 1.3 Rc11 and trying to fix it myself caused the settings to corrupt, it is fixed in rc12, but with the wrong date you can't update yourself, I think athom is able to force it when they know something of your homey. (cloud ID or bearer token, not sure which)
I recommend to use a folder structure to nest your flows.
Folder A: Flow A (IF ... THEN ... ELSE flow B
Folder B: Flow B (IF ... THEN ... ELSE flow C
Better logic is a great app to manage your variables and pass them between your flows. If you name them consistently (the flow where they are set (A.value) or the flow where they are used (B.value)), managing a ton of them is relatively easy and clean.
Edit: I created a feature request for it here: [Suggestion] If Then Elsethen Elsethen ... flows #1636
I also experience some problems with wrong time and date. Every time after a power down / restart it is stuck on 22-05-2016.
I can repair this with a reset (10sec upside down) but this is anoying. Can someone please look into this?
PS: I am on 1.3.1 and my homey is 1,5 weeks old
that bug is fixed in 1.3.2 (experimental update) but because of some weirdness with that update (in certain cases, the inital startup of apps can take several hours to start up) it was never released to stable.
for 1.3.1 there is a (temporary) fix, but since i am not allowed to just give the fix please take contact with support@athom.com, which is most likely faster to get helped then trying to mention @JeroenVollenbrock here.
