Another solution that I got as a suggestion is to use a counter. It was suggested to me in this thread: [How exactly does the "all" block working? - #5 by Dijker](https://community.homey.app/t/how-exactly-does-the-all-block-working/74644/5)

I also added another “AND” card to it so instead of counting 31 days I will count 4: every day at 8:00 I will check if it is Thursday and if yes, I will increase the counter. When it reaches 4 and resets to 0, it means that 28 days passed - I wanted this flow to trigger once a month on a Thursday.
