Flow Logic i.e. OR statements, READ value

WouterNLD

Hi,

I know I bought a beta product and think it is (potentially) absolutely amazing! And I might be doing something wrong, but coming from a different domotica system, I am missing two, in my opinion, key features. 
1. The OR functionality within a trigger. E.g. I want to trigger a lights ON function from either a button or speech. Same exact flow, only two different triggers.
2. The READ functionality. E.g. I want Homey to tell me the temperature from a Fibare Motion Sensor when I ask something like 'room temperature'.

2. a different approach is needed:

Thanks for the reply!

I do think that approach is cumbersome however. Since I bought Homey to replace my central hub it has to communicate with 30+ devices. Let's say each device has 2 relevant variables. That means over 60 flows 'just' to enable basic functionality. 

Again - I much appreciate the fast help from a fellow Homey admirer. Thanks.

Temperature/Temperatuur is a built-in command.
If you just say 'ok homey, temperature', it will tell you the temperature....

Are you sure? That doesn't work for me. And I don't think Homey has a built-in thermometer, so if they have a built-in temperature command, the only thing it could tell you (by means of an internet query), is the outdoor temperature at your location...

Hmm, doesn't work here, does  your homey have a thermometer added or is it using a zwave device?

It reports the temperature only if you have a device that can measure temperature
In my situation, it uses the temp from my Fibaro motion sensor.
" The temperature is 22.6 degrees"

OK Homey, what's the temperature in the living room? -> Average temperature from all devices that can measure temperature in your living room

I have a ThermoSmart thermostat linked to Homey, but that command still does nothing...

That is actually a very neat feature! Thanks.

But still... I would like to add the OR and READ as a suggestions. So many applications for that.

Can't get it working. Should this also work from the speech-input?

Very accurate indeed!

Haha, I suppose that could use some tweaking, but that's just a side effect of floating point math in a binary system
