dear all, I am experiencing some issues with my advanced flows, nothing special just some if, then and that…but sometimes it works, sometimes it won’t and that insisconcistency is really bothering me more than I though it would. so my questions are: 1/ are there any DON’T DOs to absolutely avoid …

DONT be carefull using the “ALL” cards. These will only trigger when all inputs are triggered by the same IF card. You can not use them as a “wait” Example: green will work, red will not [image]

Don’t : Use a trigger to monitor if a value is above/below xx value : [afbeelding] This wil only trigger if temp goes from below 20C to above 20C, it will not if temp goes from 21C to 22C use ‘has changed’ AND ‘is above/below’: [afbeelding]

@JohanP : But in this case, be aware that the trigger repeats at every 0.1 degree the temperarure changes above 20*. Don’t use is a bad advise, just be aware how it is working.

The rest of the flow depends on any AND card you use afterwards, Yes, it triggers every 0,1 (f thats the interval of the themostat, wich in my case is 0,5). The first trigger NEVER triggers at the right moment. To say my suggestion is BAD is kinda rude…

We are all here to help each other, you classify the card "Temperatuur werd groter dan … " as a DON’T , I use this card in several flows, so no reason to call me Rude. It just depends on the use-case what is the best card to use, but your remark can fraiten off beginners to use that card while it c…

I’ve often seen ppl post quiestions why the ‘XX became greater then’ wasn’t working when they wanted a ‘as long as XX is greater than’. And that ws the only thing I was warning for, It wasn’t ment as ‘Never use became greater then’ sorry if I gave that impression.

I think that that is also the beauty of Advanced Flows: you can solve problems in multiple ways. There is no one ‘true’ way. In the end all roads lead to Rome, as long as you stick to the basic principles of how Advanced Flows work. The above mentioned considerations are valuable in getting to know…
