Flows that sometimes do not activate all lights

Hi My Homey Pro ver. 4.2.0 does not turn on certain lights sometimes, but if I run the same Rolls again manually, it works.
I have tried to put the ignition of the same lamp several times in the same Rolls but it does not help. Have also connected signal amplifiers to certain lamps but it does not help either.
The lamps have been installed via Zoon and as individual lamps.

Is there any setting I can make so that Homey default sends out more than one signal to resp. remote switch?
Telldus Controller has this function.

Flows sending commands to multiple devices may not work properly. This is an internal issue with Homey.

I believe that for Z-Wave devices it’s possible to improve this behaviour by adding the devices unsecured, but this isn’t always possible (and also requires downloading and modifying app source code).

Otherwise, you need to add delays in between the action cards:

  • turn on lamp A
  • turn on lamp B after 1 second
  • turn on lamp C after 2 seconds
  • turn on lamp D after 3 seconds
