Flows

Things you need to make this happen:
Function explanation:
This is where the actual sensor detection starts
Add Countdown card - set timer card on (Timer not running) select the Countdown timer which you created in the "Countdown timer management"
Function explanation:
It will check if the timer is not already running and moves to the THAN column, if timer is "already running, it will NOT run the THEN Column in the flow.
Add an "Better Logic card" and select card for "Set number variable"
To make sure Counter is set correctly we reset it to "0" and we start the countdown timer on 10 seconds
Result of flow 1 looks like this:
Add Countdown card - set timer card on 'Timer reaches zero (0)"
It will check if the coundown timer which you set on 10 seconds in flow 1 has reached Zero (0) but when timer hasn't reached zero it will not run the AND & THEN Columns in the flow.
Function explanation:
It will check if the sensors is still activated ( fridge door still open) and if the counter variable is still smaller than the value of 5.
If sensor is not active it stops running the THEN column.
If counter is equal to 5 it also stops running the THEN column
It will play the voice card or sound after the first 10 seconds timer which you set in flow 1
Hope you can use it !
P.S
Any suggestions or improvements on this flow please let me know !
Now day 3 with homey.
I'm trying to make a flow ;
Light 1 is off, sensor 1 detects motion, turns on light 1.
When motion is off for +10 min, and light 1 is on, turn of light 1.
The idea : i walk in to room 1, i want light, i walk out, in, out, in, stay still for some minutes.. i dont want the light to go out in that room, no flickering, just stay on, until i leave the room for 10+ min.
i'm stil feeling n00b with the flow editor. ( took some time with domoticz 2 )
Only option is to remove the socket from Homey and re-add it and choose "other"
Setup:
Hardware:
- Aeotec Multisensor 6 (mounted in the ceiling in the shower niche)
- Fibaro Double Switch 2 (controlling a "stupid" fan).
Variables & flows:
Every time the MultiSensor sends an update on the humidity, this is saved to the BetterLogic variable "Humidity"
The fan is turned on when the humidity increases using the BetterLogic flow card "A number variable changed".
The limit is based on inspecting Insights to find a balance between not triggering the fan when humidity fluctuates during the day, but still have it turned on soon after a bath begins, in this case 5 seems to fit. A lower limit and a time limit has been set as well.
The fan is turned off when the humidity falls.
Based on inspecting how humidity changes in Insights, it is reasonable to cut the ventilation when the humidity is below 55% in this case ("natural" ventilation takes care of the remaining within a reasonable timeframe).
The MultiSensor has been set to send only threshold dependent updates about humidity (with a limit of 5%) making sure the "jump" in value will always be enough to trigger the flows.
The motion alarm condition card is included to avoid turning off the fan if the humidity falls abruptly while someone is still in the bath.
For example:
If the temp changed below 20c than set temp with devolo to 20c
Is it clear what i wanna do? Is there someone wo can give me some advice? Thank you guys
Having a lot of Z-Wave devices to configure on the Homey, I've been starting (re)building the flows I had.
I'm currently discovering the possibilities of Homey Flows and I'm very pleased and amuses. I like to share one of my flows.
Neo Coolcam Door Sensor -> After activating the contact, It sends a notification to my iPhone, turns around an hourglass (CountDown), set a string with variable Backdoor (or Frontdoor) and set a Counter to 3. The last 3 items are needed for Flow 2.
Flow 2 is created, because I like to know if the Backdoor is open longer then 5 minutes (yes, children....)
When the HourGlass is empty (Set to 300 sec. in Flow 1), the Sensor is stil activated, send a message to my iphone. Then I set the HourGlass again on 60 sec. and decrement the counter Teller with 1. This is done, so I don't get a never-ending-loop of messages when the door stays open.
Thanks for sharing your flows!
I have a similar set of flows. In my case I have used two countdown times instead of your 3 trigger states. Also, I have added the condition 'somebody home' and 'nobody home'.
Flow 1 - door opened, nobody home:
Flow 2 - door opened, somebody home:
Flow 3: - door opened too long:
Flow 4 - Alarm because door is still opened, otherwise reset times:
Your solution seems easier :-)

And now that we got a new Toon app again I’ve added a card to change the program.
Without that info the temperature must go below the setpoint to switch heating on and it would heat to much ( shoot through ) after the temperature is OK at the thermostat.
Keeping the heating on ~ 10% for 60 % of the time when fe the outside temperature is ~ 15 degrees below inside setpoint is far more comfortable then switching on when 19.5 and switching off at 20 degrees.
When outside is 18 degrees it only starts heating at fe 20 % and stops already some minutes before the setpoint is reached.
A good thermostat will learn the heatresistance / heat loss off your house
On a side note, , the ThermoSmart App does not have the tag card 'outside temperature'. That's a pity!
Correct @Eternity
I didn't realize as I have an NetAtmo account Connected to the ThermoSmart account for optimal Temperature processing. and my NetAtmo is also Homey Connected. If you don't have NetAtmo the ThermoSmart uses a Location based temperature from a weather service.
at the time ThermoSmart didn't update the outside Temperature from NetAtmo (API integration problems) I used Homey to SET the outside temperature from my NetAtmo ;-)
But I guess you can get almost the "same" outside temperature at your location from any other weather service if you don't have your own sensors.
I will create a request via Github. Athom is the developer :-)
Thanks!
I have Hive thermostat which doesn't seem to use it
I created two flows. The first flow starts the kettle-counter for five minutes, when the power usage is over 1W. The assumption is that the kettle stops boiling within five minutes. When the kettle has a power consumption of less than 1W after five minutes, the kettle works properly and I probably enjoy a cup of tea. I decided to use the threshold of 1W since the kettle doesn't use any power in the off position and a small power consumption is also a fire hazard.
You might wonder why I used the app Sets, since there is only one trigger, but I already had this app installed and I don't want to go overboard with apps installed on Homey.
The second flow is for the situation when the kettle continuous to use more than 1W power consumption after five minutes. Maybe the lid is open, the automatic switch doesn't work, or there is another electrical problem. Therefore after five minutes the wall plug is turned off and a warning message is sent to my smart phone, when there is still power usage.
Please let me know when you have any ideas of suggestions.

Hi - can you explain why you need the BetterLogic variable? i.e. why wouldn't it work with just the Aeotec sensor reporting the humidity change?
The size (and direction) of the change will not be detected in the flow you have made.
Therefore, the fan will be triggered with any change in humidity reported, also in case the humidity falls from e.g. 30% to 29%
(It would not be needed if there was a flow card for relative change in humidity, but there isn't)
(first humidity tag is taken from first card, second from tag list and sensor on the other floor)
