@martijnpoppen If i’m correct. Activity in child zones does not trigger the new trigger cards. Also not seeing off events triggering at all. 
Yes correct so you would need a trigger card per zone
The off behaviour i notice the same. Will check
Actually had 1 more small feature request.
I wanted to use the duration as a validation value (if the duration was less then XX minutes, send message), but now the trigger card only has a string with the time like “1 hour 34 min”, I can’t use that in logic cards to compare it to anything.
Is it possible to add an additional tag to the trigger card (or as global tag (too)) that has the duration (at least) in minutes?
Hi @Caseda
Thanks for the suggestion and feedback! This is indeed handy to add.
We can add a number tag with the duration in seconds as well. So you can use this for the logic. Or just if you like to display everything in seconds 
I will add this in the next update, but because of holiday that will be somewhere end of the second week of may. 
Will update the new version here!

App update: (Test: 1.4.2 )
- NEW Added duration in seconds to global and trigger (flow) tags

Converting card is in progress to convert seconds into desired format.

Hi guys, I saw this post and thought of your app. Would this usecase be possible in some way?
Maybe, combined with iCalCalendar** the [time to leave] variable can be set in a Google calendar appointment.
The calc [time to leave] minus [chargingtime left] is the challenge here.
( **) As far as I know, apart from Homey Alarms, there’s nowhere to input a varying timestamp/value?)

That’s an interesting case indeed. I will investigate a bit about this. Will get back on that.

I’m a but surprised (not for Flow Utilities, I didn’t know about the app before @Peter_Kawa mentioned it) that this type of calculation is “simply” not possible, and that this has not been requested a lot in the past. I’m sure there are lots of usecases for this type of calc.
Anyway, it could also work with numbers, if I use/set a numeric var and set the time as “1700” calculation the starting time is easy, but then the challenge is to convert 1700 (leavetime) - 180 (chargingminutes) = 1400 (startingtime) to a timevalue that Homey can use.
@RobbertV That (calculating 1400 to a timevalue) is then the only problem I need to solve
The reason I want this is because I want my car to preferably charge on solar but I also want it to be full when I leave, so that it will be forced to charge to 100% at leave time.
edit: managed to fix my use case with Better Logic
Sorry, hadn’t have time to look into this. Quite busy atm.
But a quick think is to use Unix time format. So converting the current time and wished time to unix format, than compare this to the needed charge time (maybe with some extra converting to miliseconds).
Then add trigger.
But have to look deeper into this on how to create this in flow cards/variables without super specific or 10 cards for this.
I do have a question about the value that is coming from you car charge time. What format is this? Time like 1:30, minutes, seconds or miliseconds?
I thought about that, too, how i could be possible to add a trigger with an argument. The problem will be, that a comparing time is set in the trigger card as argument. Nomally this is a filter to trigger only if the filter check is true.
For the time trigger, you need an interval every minute. Then trigger a ‘time changed’ frlow trigger. Then check the argument in the handler. That will be very CPU cumsoming doing this every minute.
For parsing the time: I’m parsing a string in my MySQL app and reading a date offset. Then I add this offset to a date (day, month, year. I think that could be an option for you. So parsing a time string (split at : ) and add hours/minutes.
Hi guys,
With help and inspiration of @zakraket 's flows to calculate with numeric time, I found a way to convert numeric time to time and vice versa; So we can calculate with time stamps. Maybe it can be of any help.
(And @RonnyW , your code is impressive, but way out of my league 
)
The other used flows;
The usecase is a calculation of:
when to start charging a car,
depending of the remaining charge time (reported by the charger, in minutes),
and the departure time (user entered time).
- The remaining charging time has changed:
- Departure time has changed:

Hello! great app! Currency: I’d like to convert into NOK (Norwegian). Any hope that more currencies could be added?
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add this to our to-do list.
Maybe you could help me with the correct writing of the NOK currency, is it correct like this?: 10 kr
Keep an eye on this forum for the update.
Yes, that is correct. But is your app actually converting? I tried to enter an number, but the oputput was without conversion. It just added GBP to the number. Did I miss something?
No the app doesn’t support actual converting, this is something you can do yourself with the calculation card.
De currency card is just to set the correct currency notation and symbol.
Hi and sorry for the late response.
due to personal matter and holiday I didn’t get a change to have a proper look at this request.
To get to the point I don’t think it will be a good fit for the app flow utilities.
It’s a really specific use case and requires a lot of flow cards and dependency’s.
Next to that is something already mentioned to create a trigger function will be quite hefty on Homey’s performance and I don’t want to risk that.
Luckily in the mean time @zakraket already made a good example working. And with Advanced flows you can go even further with this now without requirement of new flow cards.
