In general, the flow works, yes. But the first flow will every time already be executed, when the **Zone became active** , so the card **This zone is active for 1 minute** is not needed. For what?

If someone wants to turn on the thermostat while the window is already open, it should turn off. This is not covered by “became active”, is it?

Nope, but for this case I postet already a flow (post [#20](https://community.homey.app/t/adv-flow-doesnt-honor-delay-for-managing-tado-thermostat/72473/20)).

**Zone Activity** works only with contact and motion sensors.  
However, it is possible to disable individual contact and/or motion sensors for the **Zone Activity** function.
