Hello. I’m brand new to Homey and i tried to do some calculations. This app seems perfect for this but i have some problem understanding it. I use the card “Calculate…” but i don’t really understand what i’m supposed to do with the variable fields. If i type a text and press ENTER, the field stay em…

Hi Patrick, Welcome to the Homey community and good to hear that you are using the Flow Utilities app. See the first tip in the 1 post of this topic this will explain on the variable what you need to configure to use it in your flows. [image] [APP][Pro] Flow Utilities Apps …

OK, i see. Thank you for the quick reply. I will make some tests with this app. Have a great day :smiley:

Hello @RobbertV , I like using your app for reporting on energy usage. I have a question though regarding the ‘difference calculation’ that Flow Utitities performs. In my case I am comparing energy usage (kWh). The reported difference is always in max. two digits, while the source value is in three …

Hi @SunBeech , thanks for using Flow Utilities and good to hear you like it. For the outcome of the comparison outcome we deliberately set it to 2 decimals. Since this is for most use cases the standard in writing notation. By removing this limit it will bring unwanted behavior with other users alr…

Hi, question, what do you guys use to trigger the flows for the washing machine and dryer? In other words, how do you define the duration of one cycle? I have been trying to define a trigger based on power usage (above or below a certain amount of Watts), but that doesn’t seem to work properly.

I use power consumption. If the consumption gets above a threshold for a certain amount of time, I consider that the start of a cycle. And when it gets below a threshold for a certain amount of time I consider that the end of a cycle. It took me a lot of observing/monitoring washing/drying cycles to…

Setting a minimum and maximum wattage is also what I use. I did some testing with different washing programs in the beginning to determine the minimum (default power usage when on, but no program running) and the maximum (wattage used on start of program). Since my washer also has some idle time I …

Thank you all for replying! Really helpful. I ended up using the Device Capabilities app as SunBeech suggested. It took me a while to determine the appropriate thresholds for my devices, because they all have periods within a cycle in which they have very limited power usage. So, for those seeking …
