Time and variable trigger problem

dallasdallas Member
edited December 2017 in Questions & Help
Hi I have tried to set up some flows which I just cant get to work.
I have tried to use my lamps status "on" or "off" as trigger card with no luck.
I have tried to use time card to trigger a lamp to be lighted at a specific time with no luck.
I copied a flow from a discussion, se below with no success.
All flows work with the test button but they do not start by the trigger specified.
Am I missing something fundamental?



Thanks for any help on this as.

    U also have a flow to set the variable to something else then 1?
    Otherwise the variable is always 1 and thus never changes so does not trigger the flow.

    Yes I do.. but based on your comment I think that I might have forgotten to double check the the variable is not 1 before i expect the flow to be triggered by the time.
    I will check!

    Hi,

    It works now, I had to fix 2 things:
    Set the time zone/location correct and also verfy that the variable had the righ starting value.
    Now everyting flows lika a charm.
