@Arie_J_Godschalk Could you add a AND “Number Variable is between Value and Value” card? ---

WIll it be possible to show the value on a variable device (NumSlide) as status? It would also be great to have a way to start a flow with some value (f.e. “charge my car to XX%” ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk Is there something wrong or (most likely) am I doing something wrong? When I am calling Date.now() in BLL I’m getting inconsistent results. After multiple ‘test here’ I am now getting ‘today’. But I don’t think this is correct. ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-09-20 om 16.03.53](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/d/bd28b88432a601fd3ec1ab385ea9b3b0531ab3e1.png) ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-09-20 om 16.06.54](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4a8b94444be78ca089e60a28b5f7f2188bd7e9c1.png) ---

@Pairis you are writing: day-minutes-years use `dd-MM-yyyy` 😉 BTW, you do not need to fill the date with now. If you leave the second parameter empty, it will use date.now() by default. so: `date('dd-MM-yyyy')` or `date('dd-MM-yyyy', now)` or just use the Format Date flowcard 😉 ---

Have you tried restarting the bll app? Try restarting the app. If you still get that error, please send me a diagnostic report. ---

Hi Arie, Thank you for asking. I managed to fix it! For others: ```auto (Number($value) === 0) ? 0 : Math.round((Number($value) / 1000 + 30) / 60) ``` So it will show minutes. ---

Dear Arie, Many thanks again for this great app! I was hoping that you can help me with something that I can’t get working… I have a bosch washing machine and dryer. They are reporting the remaining time. (Always in round minutes). Example: 176:00 I would like to report this as better logic variable in HH:MM. so in this case; not 176:00 but 2:56. Is there a way to do this? And if not, is it then possible to automatically remove the ‘:00’ part?l so that I have just the ‘minutes’ part? Many thanks in advance for your time and help. For now; Merry Christmas! ---

Hi Ranney You can do it like this: Create a numeric variable, I called it `dryer_remaining_minutes` The tag [`dryer_remaining`] represents the tag from your dryer, which should be a string(text) tag (right?) You can view the result from the Timeline card next to it in the Timeline Viewer ![Screenshot from 2023-12-26 01-11-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/e/ee315d5635e34ffaf4adf31061719d13c49109d8.png) (All cards are ‘Then’ cards) ---

Many thanks for your help! I’m trying to reproduce your flow. But interesting enough, the homey app is crashing when I set a value like this: {{ 0+(‘‘124:00’’.split(‘’:‘’)[1]) }} (124:00 is a test value) Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
