Ooops! Fixed over on the Event Engine side!

@bptworld - OK, I know that we covered this recently, but I'm still having an issue with my lights only flashing twice, even with the "number of flashes" field left blank (indefinite).
Also, this time I'm using the 'controlled by other apps' with this instance since I can now use TF in EE, thanks for fixing that!
I double checked to make sure I didn't do this!
But it seems that this option (above) isn't available when "Controlled by other apps" is selected.
Looks like you left the 'Number of Times' to flash blank.
New version...
1.2.9 - 08/15/22 - Cosmetic changes
GOSH! I was trying too hard to NOT post another issue and figure it out myself. Must’ve convinced myself that it said to leave blank, not “0.” Such a minor element I completely overlooked.
Perhaps that’s what has been the case in most apps I’ve successfully integrated into my setup (eg. “Leave blank for default”)
Out of curiosity, why would it still flash twice instead of not flash at all?
Is it possible, for future HE noobs-who-are-1-year-in-and-make-jacka$$-mistakes-because-they’re-too-excited-that-they’re-starting-to-get-it like me, to have the app log an error if that field is left blank?
Thanks again for your kindness and guidance. I’m really not trying to waste your time. I guess I’m so good at it, I don’t have to try! 
I dont see it in HPM at all. Neither do I see it in the "control" section.
Is there anything I missing to check off ?
how did you eventually find it ? Im still not able to see this in HPM
Thanks
Not sure if asked before 'cause I couldn't find it in the search. Is there a way to set this up to use groups of lights? Using this for my water-leak sensor.
I used RL to create a group for when the leak sensor is activated to flash blue, my concern is do I leave each lights device type as RGB with blue color and level preset in the table? Or do I just make them on/off switches and let Flasher handles the color and level?
No, It will only flash one light
Technically I think you could flash a group of lights if you chose a group activator as your switch in this app, but trying to flashing a group of lights would be a bunch of rapid on/off messaging to the different switches/bulbs in the group and more than likely not be very attractive even if it sort-of worked. Something I've never tried.
Just tested using a group from Groups and Scenes of just two bulbs (zigbee, Sengled and Hue, Zigbee messsaging enabled the G&S app) as a group in the Flasher app (put the group activator in as the switch). Not changing any bulb settings, just on/off every 2s and second test every 1 second.
Worked quite well, actually. I was impressed.
I ended up just repeating toggle on a RL group of lights every 3 seconds in the RM rule with a stop on event trigger. Worked as well as I could have hoped for. Thanks for your response.

If I setup a simple Rm rule like this my lights go back to original Color. using CTMode
When using The Flasher App it can't restore color mode. Is it possible to rework how this app captures and restores color?
A nice bonus would be adding a color picker to the app like in RM? Colors are very limited and sometimes off color if not just using a simple rgb bulb.

I'd love to be able to alternator colors that are flashed. Is it possible to alternate 2 (or more) colors?
Thank you!
Not at this time but I'll add it to the 'maybe' list.

Thank you! 
Hi, I know you're not doing any coding currently....but someday would it be possible to add a delay in between flashes...
for example flash N times as currently designed, but have "delay between flash sets" so it could delay X seconds and then repeat the N flashes...until the max number is reached.
Thx for considering
I Can't find 'The Flasher ' on HPM
Some things aren't on Hubitat Package Manager.
Edit: It is now. 
Here's BPTWorld's app installer:
