Flows you need help with

ericjanvanputten

hi all, 
as a noob i'm struggling to get some of the flows to work correctly and i think a lot of us have this. now we often have specific topics for devices or stuff not working, but i havent seen one for flows in general. 

anyhows, this is an example of a flow i would like to test/get to work:
when trigger (http get in this case) is triggered between x and x time then put lamp on

That all looks fine, except the card in the When column - you'd need to specify http://<YourHomeyIP>/api/app/com.internet/<event>.

Did you have a specific question about your flow?

@ericjanvanputten ;
I think the problem is the times are on different days/dates.
Could you test this;

when trigger (http get in this case) is triggered between 21:00 and 23:50 time then put lamp on

ericjanvanputten

the HTTP GET card seems to work (also another flow with that same trigger) but I think its the time that is the challenge. 

I will check that times on the same day this afternoon when i'm home.

Yes it's this. Basically what you are saying now is:

If time is between 21:00 and 23:59 AND if time is between 00:00 and 07:00, which is of course never true.

I think the only way to solve this is to make 2 flows out of this, one for time between 21:00 - 23:59, and one for time between 00:00 - 07:00.

Ah yes - it would probably require two flows, one later than 21:00, the other earlier than 07:00.

Well.. You could actually invert the [AND] conditions with the checkmarks:
If it is
not later then 7:00
and
not earlier then 21:00

Nope, wouldn't work. That would never trigger. For example 23:00 is later than 07:00, and 06:00 is earlier than 21:00 (and both are excluded). You'll definitely need 2 flows.

MartijnDeRhoter

But then at 22:00 nothing would happen (22:00 is later than 07:00)

ericjanvanputten

well between 1600-1700 worked and a bit before it didnt as expected so seems to be the trick for same day... will configure it now with 2 flows and try tonight

Can't get this flow to work.

Then you are missing the right equipment / apps. Everything you added in this flow is already possible.

lol yes please

would it be possible for any 'flow' to monitor if the 'flow' has run correct or that it has failed?

Hi All,

I have several variables that I use:

 

Temp inside

Temp outside

Humidity

Solar Intensity

Target Temp

 

I’d like to get a message with all these variables when I press a button on a remote.

 

How should my flow be?

In using better logic for these variables.

 

Thanks for the help!

Maybe you could change a variable at the end of the flow, and do something else when that variable changes (and change the variable back). It does not take into account whether or not there were faults with the 'Then' column though.
