Trigger a Flow in the Homey app
I'm waiting a long time for the possibility to start a flow in the Homey app. Some searches on this forum, Slack, app store and Github wasn't helpful. I think that i have to learn how to search.
Today I smarter: I HAVE A SIMPLE SOLUTION (maybe you already know this simple solution)
Use a Better Logic Variable, and make add this variable as a device.
Change the Trigger of the original flow to the new device:
Create a new Flow to be able to start the Flow with your voice, like you used to.
Now I have a button in the Android Homey app. I didn't test it in a IOS app.

My advice is to use the google search for this forum. The forum search engine is crap. Use "site:athom.com " and your keywords with google.
As described in the post, I still use variables to keep track of the "state" of my house as it would allow me to use the variable also as a condition for another transition.
For example: IF time = 23:00 AND state = 21 or 22 THEN set state to 25.
20-24 are my evening states. 25-28 are my late night states. When I'm watching TV, I don't want the lights in the living room to turn off at 23:00, so 23 has different triggers to transition to 25. 24 is not yet used, but I reserve blocks of 5 for each time of day.
