I would like to hear your pro’s & con’s (and improvements)
whats your best & why?
Situation: I have a flow that is trigerred by a light sensor (lux) that sends every 5min
2 possible solutions:
A limit triggger via time period in AND:
Flow1: IF=lux changed, AND time=15:00-22:00 AND Lux<12, THEN: lights on
advantage: simple and clear flow structure
disadvantage: flow is triggered every 5 min (should I care?, I will have multiple flows like this for different rooms, dusk&dawn(lux>12)...)
B: Disable flow during time period
Flow1: IF Time=15:00, THEN activate Flow2
Flow2: IF=lux change, AND=Lux<12, THEN: lights on
Flow3: IF Time=22:00, THEN deactivate Flow2
advantage: flow is only triggered in required period
disadvantage: flow structure not very clear

Look at the CPU usage if you have multiple flows to check.
