Hello team, I am quite new to Homey and I wanted to create a simple flow that will alert me based on detection if I left a light on (step 2 would be to switch off lights but let’s just send a notification for now). Basically send me a push notification if nobody is at home but one of my light is still on. There is a way to select “all lights” but I can’t find another option that would be appropriate in my case. Do you have suggestions ? ---

it would be useful to know what lights you have, are they connected directly to Homey or through a hub like Hue, that is connected to Homey? ---

They are connected via Zigbee2MQTT ---

It’s a bit unclear at first, but the trick is to use the “All [type] devices are turned off” and then right click on the card and chose Invert. Then you get “Not All [type] devices are turned off”. ![Screenshot 2025-10-24 at 11.43.24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/2/72f7970d1f5280329c5bd1df5918a83b7a89110e.png) ---

And you Could extend dsdevries flow with the “not all light devices are turned off” to turn them off so you don`t need to worry, they will turn off when you leave. ---

Or just do it and not checking. many apps by light manufacturers do this check internally anyway before they actually send the command. And it’s a very simple command on a time where nothing is happening so much anyway, and you’re not even there to realize that it was a bit slower than usual.
