No it’s just a standard variable in the homey app. I can’t pick any variable, it does not recognise any of the variables. ---

This app doesn’t use the default Homey variables due to it’s limitations. You need to create custom variables in the app configuration. The app then will provide multiple variables to be used inside your flows. Please see the first item in this topic, the tips section provides how to create app variables to be used in the app. [[APP][Pro] Flow Utilities](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-flow-utilities/53027) ---

I might be an idiot, but I simply cannot figure out how to convert a number in EUR to DKK currency. It is supposed to use exchange rates to convert, right? ---

Hi @GibStorm , The conversion card is not converting a currency by exchange rates. This card is for output format from a plain number to a currency format. F.e. 12.8 =\> € 12,80 ---

Hallo everybody, I need help to get the difference in hour/day between the current hour & day/date and the timestamp of the last cloud backup that has been made. there is already a small script available to the the time(stamp) of the last (cloud) backup here : > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] sysInternals - Shows Homey’s System Internals](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-sysinternals-shows-homey-s-system-internals/78650/231): > > Yes code always needs to be handled by code editors, not the infamous Word or such. Ah, we learn every day, I didn’t know you’d have to save the flow export with it’s original name saluting_face It was exported as Poll for firmware updates.homeyadvflow.json When I remove the .json part prior to importing it, it is grayed out. I could import the flow on my 2 other Homey’s just fine with the .json part in the name. “aflowname” was just a placeholder to use your own flowname. But apparently … How would/can I get the duration of days & hours since the last backup based on the current time. Is it possible with these flow utilities ? And if not anybody know how else ?? I also would like to Highlight the (duration) results in a message (and or a dashboard) in different colors based the amount of days & hours, 1 - 3 days Green value, between more than 3 days and 5 day and 12 hours : yellow, between 5 day 12 hours and 8 days + 6 hours : orange , between than 8 days + 6 hours and 11 days : red , more than 11 days : purple. Thanks a lot for any help and have a nice weekend. ---

Maybe already asked but could not find it. I tried to calculate the difference between actual kwh price and highest price next hours. But get as result always a 0. I already tried to convert the number to decimal and wait some seconds before proceding but without result. what can i do wrong? can i see somewhere what the actual value is from the created variables? is ---

Both of your questions are not possible with FlowUtilities unfortunately. ---

Most likely the difference in price is less than 0.01, the results for differences are capped at 2 decimals. [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-flow-utilities/53027.md?page=11)
