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 :

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.
