Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but those are the worst bulbs I've ever tested! Do a search on my Event Engine thread. Another user was having all kinds of trouble so I bought one just to test with. The thing isn't worth the box it came in.
Anyways, to get around it's SLOW response time, raise your 'Milliseconds for lights to be on/off' to about 1500.
After setting that, do a test with it only flashing 3 times. If it still doesn't work for you, put a complete debug log up and I'll take a look.
I'll be happy to test for you, but only if you want me too. It's working perfectly in WebCORE and I'm planning on leaving it there so I can keep my entire water leak notification routine in one spot.
Is it possible for this to flash multiple lights, rather than just one? I am Deaf, and there's some notifications, I'll like for it to flash multiple lights, rather than setting up 6 different flashers for specific events and then have it trigger all 6 for a specific event, and then another 6 for a different event?

Error Occurred During Installation
An error occurred while installing the package: Failed to uninstall app
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bptworld/Hubitat/master/Apps/The%20Flasher/TF-parent.groovy, it may be in use. Please delete all instances of this app before uninstalling the package.
The logs don't say much of interest:

There is nothing wrong with how my apps are setup to work with HPM. The problem is most likely how you have HPM setup. Try poking around in the HPM thread. Usually the #1 issue is someone has hub security enabled but not setup in HPM.
First off, love the app! Exactly what I was looking for.
Second, small bug to report.
Using a time trigger with with an infinite number of times to strobe and a control switch enabled, the strobe will have a non-uniform cadence. It will be two strobes, where the first is approximately 1 second in duration and the second strobe is of the defined duration in the settings (ie. using milliseconds and a setting of 500ms, 1000-500). The next pair will occur after a delay of approximately 1 second. This pattern will repeat indefinitely until the trigger switch is detected. Further, if no switch is defined, this pattern will only occur once (thus the strobe will not continue indefinitely).
The pattern functions normally when using a finite number of times to strobe.
I can dig into the code later to see if I can identify the cause, but I wanted to bring this to your attention.
Hi @bptworld ,
thanks for your hard work.
I have installed app in order to flash light when downstairs door is opened.
Needless to say it absolutely does not work, door opens, sensor changes to open and light does not flash.
Here is config:
Hi @bptworld thanks for reply and new version, I have updated (using package manager) and updated configuration. This time it does something, it switches light off and light does not flash, here is the log
Hi, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I'm hoping you can help.
I'm using the Flasher with your NHL notifications to flash a bulb when the Blues score. That stopped working recently. I think I've pinned it down to the Flasher Child app not actually triggering the bulb.
I see the sequence when I test the child app as shown, but the light never comes on.
