Thanks for adding this feature to your app.  
I have started testing it and so far it works great.

@W_Wassink Could you please create a feature request over at GitHub so it can be tracked and planned? [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/basmilius/homey-flowbits/issues)

I don’t want FlowBits to be a copycat of Chronograph by the way, I think that the feature should have something more to offer in some way before it’s added. For example, a widget could also be introduced. Let’s think about it 🙂

Great App!

Is it possible to make flowcard that goes to the previous step? As in this flowcard but opposite way:  
" Next step in (Name) (Min-Max)"

Best regards  
Ercan

I want to make an event to show on my Homey Timeline that I took my medication with a timestamp.  
I tried to make a very simple fow, but when I confirm the Ask flow with “yes” the event will not show up in the timeline. Can someone help me with this?

Or do I really have to add this?

@Borssie Yes, you have to add notifications to the timeline using the built-in card. You can however add the Event widget to the dashboard, which will show when the last event occurrence happened.

Thank you @BasMilius amazing! Just a quick question, is it possible on that Event widget to get a more specific time , instead of 1 hour ago like, 16:10 or so?

@Borssie Not at the moment, but I’ll add a widget setting for it. Will work on it Tuesday evening 🙂

I absolutely adore this app.

Really simple to create custom flags for lots of conditions

Now I can trigger certain events in the house, during a five minute window from when my presence has been detected. So for example, if the front door opens during this five minute window and Homey knows I’ve previously been at the office all day then \> Do this, do this and do this.

Amazing!

This is the sort of stuff that really starts to show what’s really possible with Homey Flows. I imagine something like this would take an age to work out with HA.

@Borssie An update with a view mode setting for the event widget was released this morning 🙂 You can choose to always show absolute time instead of relative.

I usually don’t post here, but since I see people are sharing the love, I also want to thank you @BasMilius . This app is awesome, and I already use it in lots of flows. Also, the widgets are just insanely useful (particularly when testing flows).

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/6/d614745e7f0a4d4f1927e57c1ce355d09e95f760.png)

Here’s a small section of my “bathroom shower” flow, and your work is all over it.

Ah, and the web with the setting options and how-to is super helpful. I didn’t manage to get the slider working, but that’s on me, and I was just testing. I haven’t found a great use yet. When I do, I will give it a proper go.

Keep up the awesome work!

/Raul

PS: I’d be happy to “buy you a coffee”…how do I go about doing that?

@BasMilius: Maybe a stupid question (as I don’t yet have experience with your app 😊), but what is the difference between setting/testing a flag with your app, and setting/testing a standard boolean Logic variable?

@SunBeech Valid question! Flags and variables are basically the same I would say. FlowBits was originally created for its Modes. Before FlowBits I created “modes” with variables and that became a little complicated mess at times. And the widgets FlowBits provides are also a +1 for me, including that I can choose my own icons 🙂

But yeah, Flags are basically boolean variables with some extra easy triggers.

Yes I have seen screenshots of your widgets and they look very neat! Do I understand you correctly that you can assign icons to flags shown by your app’s flags widget?

SunBeech, you can turn on and off the flags on the widgets, which means setting the yes/no values super easy.
