Well, you were lucky in the past. 

fibaro.event(...) should not be used before QuickApp:onInit() is called. The reason is that the order of the loading of the files of the QuickApp is not guaranteed.

If 'main' is loaded before 'fibaroExtra' you can't call fibaro.event(...) on top-level in 'main' because fibaro.event(...) is not defined yet.

 

The way to do it is either lifting in the code above inside QuickApp:onInit() or wrap it in a function called from :onInit()

Ex.

Well, if you do that you are playing file-order-roulette and your existing QAs may start to throw errors at restarts. You have just been lucky so far.

It's actually a general rule when developing QAs. If you have a multi-file QA, don't use functions defined in the other files until your QuickApp:onInit() has been called.

Thank you for the advice..
