Very nice app, can fulfill my needs for information superbly, try to replicate but… were is the tag “kwhPrijs” coming from? ![pic1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/2/d2df9858019e90ab3b0f58fc3b72baab6b36aba1.jpeg) ---

Nice to hear that you enjoy the app! 😃 The ‘kwhPrijs’ from this example is a standard homey variable with the kWh price value. If you have double price tariffs (this is for most providers in NL) you need to add some extra logic off course to determine which tariffs you need. Hope this answers your question! ---

> [@HanZ](#): > > Almost clear “you need to add some extra logic off course to determine which tariffs you need” shouts for explanation. So if you have a energy meter in house with double tariffs or a energy contract with 2 different tariffs for day usage and night/weekend usage. To have the correct number to calculate you need to add some additional checks for that. I know (can’t find it anymore) that some one on the forum had an flow updating the current value based on time of day and week. So you will have 3 types of number variables: 1. Weekday tariff 2. Evening-weekend tariff 3. Current tariff (this u could use in the calculation) I hope this clears it up. I will try to add an example flow for the tariff switching ---

did made some efforts my self to make a daily high and a daily low for night times and weekends. but not sure if this will work as planned. Made tree logic variables (see pic) ![variabelen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/1/b1b3b6edfb62cc84425d770fde2fb77d015aa713.jpeg) and two flows to set the variables [https://homey.app/f/qqjjHR/](https://homey.app/f/qqjjHR/) [https://homey.app/f/FppjHR/](https://homey.app/f/FppjHR/) correct me if I’m wrong. correction: [Shared Flow | Homey](https://homey.app/f/a2aHHR/) ---

Nice, I was creating a exact same flow as you are. So you are correct! Only thing I didn’t do is adding the second check for weekends. Since you only update Friday evening and then back to high tariff on Monday morning. 🙂 ---

True, Homey doesn’t have this built in. Probably since every country has his own public holiday dates. But there’s an app for that: > **[Public holidays](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/no.almli.publicholidays/Public-holidays/)** > > Public holidays for several countries or > **[Vrije dagen](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.cyclone-software.holidays/Vrije-dagen/)** > > Feestdagen om te gebruiken in je flows ---

I dont get a DURATION tag when creating a variable. Tried to run a start/stop sequence - but still no luck. (Want to use it to measure the duration between de-icing cycles in my heat-pump to pre-compencate with other heating sources…) ---

@Sportswagoneer currently we didn’t implement a number of minutes. Because duration can be different (hours/minutes/seconds). That’s why we made a text var which only shows the relevant duration We can create a convert card to number with a choice in (hours/minutes/seconds) ---

…but then I finally figgured out how to use Chronograph to measure a duration by using a trigger to get to the data. So my need is no longer relevant. May be to others though! ---
