Flows
Comments
I'm trying to make a flow that will turn on some lights at nighttime when the kids are going to the bathroom.
I don't want it to change the lights if they are already on.. I have motion sensor and HUE.,
Regards
I use the app HTTP request flow charts (and Harmony app to control TV + countdown for some additional logic).
Each weekday at a specific time check if tv-show x is planned (in this case a Dutch tv-show 'De Wereld Draait Door'):
GET: http://www.tvgids.nl/json/lists/programs.php?channels=1
JSONpath: $.1..[?(@.permalink=='de-wereld-draait-door')].datum_start
This basically checks if 'de wereld draait door' is on tv today and will return the "datum_start" as a variable.
In the next flow check if the "datum_start" matches my expected time and execute the action you want.
In my case I've added some additional logic to countdown 60 secs, after 60 secs tv is turned on, but this is cancelled in case I start talking to Homey.
When timer reaches 0:
And this all is cancelled when I start talking to Homey in this minute (+ some other 'cancel' action + my received is muted):
Hope this is some inspiration for other good flows/combinations.
What flow do i make to switch of the doorlight off after 5 minutes
Create a second flow to switch it off if it becomes 0.
Also lengthens the light on period if someone presses agai within 5 min.

Wait, that was incorrect. It should have been: Most peeps will use the timer because it works way better and u don't get standing outside in the dark.
Whenever homey starts to listen it will mute my onkyo for 10 seconds. This way I reduce the amount of errors with speech recognition
When u say Ok Homey, Homey starts listening. So the card "Homey starts listening" is starting from there. I use it to mute Sonos so Homey can understand me better. Homey is not gonna respond by himself, u will need to maken a flow for that if u like that option.
Do you also have the 'experimental' next to the microphone?
Hi i thought i was quite clever but am i stil thinking to much old school ?? . The doorbel light question.
I made a flow that works fine:
Then i added the countdown app and made some actions thinking that i have to add the seconds value in the card
And made a flow to use the countdown to switch of the light again after 5 minutes its not working what am i doing wrong .................
BIG Thanks in advance for just any comment that will make me more clever again :-)
When doorbell pressed--turn light on
--turn zandloper doorbell for 300 sec
When zandloper doorbell is empty--turn light off
LED ring goes ON when you start to speak and goes OFF when it is finished.
dont need a flow fot that just turn it of in options and it wil only lights up when listening
I started making a number variable called AB modus (remote modus). When I press the Red, Blue, Yellow or Green button (those buttons that you never used...), the remote modus is set to 1, 2, 3, or 4 and calls out 'Music mode' or 'Light mode' or 'Presence mode' (haven't got a third and fourth mode thought out yet. Presence might be one, or TV).
When the remote modus is Music, the OK button on my remote turns on Sonos, the mute button turns off Sonos. Button 1 sets the volume at 15%, button 2 sets the volume at 20%, etc.
When the remote modus is Lights, the (same) OK button turns on my last Hue scene, the mute button turns off the Hue lights. Button 1 selects a specific hue scene, etc. (btw, would love it if Hue and Sonos cards are added to increment/decrement light of Hue/volume of Sonos by x%, so that I can use my volume buttons!)
The result: I have an old remote turning into a remote with at least 4 times the functionality!
My wife loves it, wasn't that big of a fan of speech, and this works very simple.
