Thanks for your replay! At this moment, I just have a ‘calculate numeric value as’ {{ 0+(‘‘124:00’’.split(‘’:‘’)[1]) }} The ‘numeric value’ in homey → variabelen will be ‘empty’ when running this flow card. The app is crashing when opening the corresponding value in the list. I think that I make a mistake in taking over the symbols or something like that. But did not managed it to get it working 🙈 ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-12-26 om 09.42.54](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/f/0f0b6183096e2975fb32255533ff3d1c3304c5c8.png) And with other ’ marks also the same problem ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-12-26 om 09.47.58](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/c/bcbfd636e0f3e7ed588f35a29e7631f8d66fda6b.png) {{ 0+(‘‘124:00’’.split(‘’:‘’)[1]) }} This is the error I get. ![IMG_9096](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/0/d0271a2b512f0ec9b31aba0c4d93924e8cada925.jpeg) ---

> [@Ranney](#): > > {{ 0+(‘‘124:00’’.split(‘’:‘’)[1]) }} Hi Ranney, Never use fancy (cursive) double quotation marks in code. 1. ![Screenshot_20231226-180931_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/4/84ba4e6696b9633a5d8729833a9cf804c8b6bf5f.jpeg) You used two different types as well, probably two fancy single quote marks: 2. ![Screenshot_20231226-180952_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/8/5851af0520ce6b689c1f7d5c7aff04ea8907ab39.jpeg) Always use the standard straight double quote mark like: `"` Also note, two single quote marks as a pair isn’t valid, only use the double quote mark symbol. Also carefully watch for whitespaces, as shown in the error msg: ![Screenshot_20231226-182312_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/8/18e0917f508afa43e91a2d47e4a674c9ec77ddd5.jpeg) The (damn) autocorrect on phones/tablets can cause many unwanted issues when coding Turn it off. ### Okay, Ranney, this should work, just copy/paste it into your flowcard: ```auto {{ 0+("124:00".split(":")[1]) }} ``` . You can also play and test with the [time] tag for instance: ![Screenshot_20231226-181820_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/a/0aeae044647c7d933e4304911c67c8a4633be385.jpeg) ---

Many many many thanks! It is working great now! (And sorry for my late response. I had some serious issues with my homey. (SQLite Database corrupt errors). After some troubleshooting I found that my EMMC was not working correctly. Just replaced the CM4 module and as far as I can see now is it working fine again.) Now including nice remaining time information for my bosch devices. Thanks! ---

After the latest update with the test version (3.4.12) I get an error when saving flows with BLL in them. ```auto Invalid format for arg 'boolean_value' expected '[[tokenId]]' but received 'true' ``` It was solved by going back to the original version. Thanks. ---

> [@Heula](#): > > After the latest update with the test version (3.4.12) I get an error when saving flows with BLL in them. Okay, it’s resolved in the new testversion. I changed the valuetype of the Set [variable] to [yes/no] from a dropdown containing true/false to a checkbox, so you can use a boolean-tag. However, during testing, it showed to be working correctly for me. But i have changed it back for the flowcard and deprecated that flowcard. I have created the same flowcard as new, with a checkbox. It looks the same, except that it allowes boolean-tags to be used. It’s in test now. ---

Hi, is it possible to use BLL variables I created in the App in a function that I create? If so, what is the syntax? I could not find any example. I tried it with $ before the name and before and after the name and with just the variable name, but always get an error. Kind Regards, Gerhard ---

When I try to used a tag, with date & time, for have only the time for a variable I get error and wrong time stamp. So I try it with putting directly date & time data in the card. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/9/69425554c8d4222be78d32dc1cb95ebccff8d67c.jpeg) It seems to me that the conversion is not what we used here. An 29th month is strange and the time get 2 hours extra. In the BLL app configuration I see nothing strange there. Is there an other place to set the right date & time settings Edit This morning test with 01-03-2024 09:58:03 gives 10:58:03. So 1 hour wrong. ---

> [@Theo\_de\_Koning](#): > > So I try it with putting directly date & time data in the card. Unfortuantly, this is not (yet) possible, because it will be interpreted as English date. For this example, you can better do this: - Use a Execute [bll expression] as Tag flowcard - place this in the field: ```auto "01-03-2024 09:58:03".split(' ')[1] ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/9/9965e22bef3adb110bc70c3c4a3de0cc7f8fcd1e.png) ---

OK, big learning curve here. Have to learn BLL, BLL expressions etc. to commence learning Advanced Capabilities. So as I am trying to create my first AVD I need to create some BLL variables. Here is my attempt to set a string depending on it’s value to be displayed in the AVD. Not sure yet but I probably could define the expression in the AVD. Either way it needs to work and this one doesn’t. Even though SellPrice\_N is an existing BLL variable this card fails as SellPrice\_N is not defined. Is there a way to define it (let SellPrice\_N) or have I done this completely wrong? ![Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 3.27.32 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/8/d847102fa82907ba0d9463654367f36d511fb51b.png) ---

Hi I have a problem with BLL every now and then when I open the app settings. I do not see any variable. The flows are not working with the variables. I created a diagnosis report ce4a6612-2bd9-485d-99dd-a91d1d3c771f. To get it to work i have to restart the app. Happened about 5 times already I reboot homey every night. Thanks Ron ---

@Ron_Meijsen Maybe as a workaround you could try to restart the BLL app about 20 minutes after you have restart the Homey. ---

Hi, I would if I know where to create a ticket. When i go to bitbucket i can only look at issues. I have an early 2019 pro. I do not know when it happens. At one point during the day i just find out that flows with variables did not work. To find out if it happens after reboot i could create a flow that uses a variable and when that card errors i write to the log. I will try that. Ron ---

As far a I can tell the problem has been resolved with the latest upgrade. The downside is that you have to replace each card with this error. So for example if you have a card with set Hue scene for a zone with this error you have to replace the card with a new card set scene for zone xxx [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-better-logic-library-just-some-better-logic-variable-and-library-management/5568.md?page=20) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-better-logic-library-just-some-better-logic-variable-and-library-management/5568.md?page=22)
