KaKu
Ticking noise with Homey and Klikaanklikuit, anyone who has them too?

I have several flows that trigger some Kaku devices (asun-650 and ACD-1000 predominantly, but i think it's the asun-650s that this question is about).
The flows check with each their own time intervals (eg 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 3 minutes) their conditions and then do something: roll down the sun screen for example. Really common, nothing weird so far.
Now here's the weird part: with each check (so each interval) the Kaku devices 'click' or 'tick' even when the conditions are not met and the actual action is not triggered.
It actually sounds a little like a relais sound. Every so many minutes.
So it seems that somehow homey still gives some signal to the Kaku devices although the conditions are not met.
Is their a brilliant mind here who might know what is happening here?

If you check the state of these devices in Homey You check the last know state, and Homey will absolutely not transmit a signal to these devices.
If you hear these devices click at the time of the the flows interval I guess you made a mistake and also send a state change and maybe a second change direct after it?
Personally I don't see many use-cases for Flow triggering in an x minute interval.... most of them you could replace with triggers on state changes.
For a ASUN I can only make it tick without moving the blinds by sending an Up when it is already up..... or sending down when it is already fully down.

Thx!
Dit you try to test the flow by hand? will it tick ?
Don't know the Somfy's, if Homey/ the Somfy device forgets state UP and switches to IDLE, then every 15 minutes the Then part runs.
You could exchange the two conditions "State is NOT UP" from your Somfy both for a "State is NOT UP" from your first ASUN650.
Personally I think I would trigger on LUX / Helderheid changes, depending on how often it updates.
