Hello,
As far as I got it properly, variables that are defined in flows are global (shared among all flows)
I tried to find information on this forum to create “local variables” for my flows, I.e.: variables which would not be shared across flows, but would be local to the flow where it has been created (but not “temporary variables” ! I want them to be permanent even across reboots).
Did I miss something or I can only do it with a HomeyScript that create a Flow Tag ? If not mistaking, Flow Tags are assumed to be local to their flow… (hence their name 
).
I am asking because I tried with the script here under, called from a card HomeScript, and I see that the tag created is visible in all my flows 
if (args[0] === '' || args[0] === undefined)
throw new Error('you have to pass your variable name and its value. Ex.: myvar, 1000');
const args_element = args[0].split(',');
if (args_element.length == 2){
const name = args_element[0];
const value = args_element[1];
if (value === 'null')
await tag(name, null); // Delete
else
await tag(name, value); // Create
}
else if (args_element.length == 1) {
const name = args_element[0];
await tag(name, null); // Delete
}
else
throw new Error('you have to pass your variable name and its value. Ex.: myvar, 1000');
return true
The purpose is to have the local variables created dynamically by any advanced flow instantiated from a “template”… (I.e.: I am more curious if it’s doable than stuck because I can’t do it)
Thx for any comment or advice.
V.
