Thanks seems to work great! Maybe one thing, would it be possible to allow for decimal values for the duration? For my dimming example 1 second feels a bit slow and I would like to be able to fire the timer every 0.5 seconds. ---

@BasMilius I am thinking about using this app to monitor whether a device is reporting or not. I have two different approaches: 1. Every time the device reports (e.g. temperature) is sets a State in a Set. Once a day I check the Set if every State is set. Or even; if not all states active for the Set, notify. 2. Restart a timer everytime the device reports. If timer finishes notify. What do you think of my ideas? Are any (both) of them heavy on Homey? Is restarting a timer every second for say 20 devices (i.e. 20 timers) too heavy? Why I want to do this is due to many devices should report their battery level but fails to do so. ---

@Anders_Gregow Hmm, I think the sets feature is more suitable for this case and you can then at a given interval check each state or the entire set. I did test FlowBits with around 50 timers, which went ok, but the app also received a few timer related updates since then. I should test it again 🙂 Some background information about how timers are implemented: - The app finds your timers and calculates when certain updates should happen, this happens at startup and when a timer updates. - The update that should happen first (or multiple) is scheduled, so the app does not keep track of later updates at this point. - _Set timer for 10 seconds._ - _Timer reaches 5 seconds._ ← This update is scheduled. - _Timer finishes._ ← This update is not yet scheduled. Timers have one scheduler, so it does not matter if you have 1 or 10 timers, there’s still one scheduled update. ---

Hi, the app-support is great, but before I start changing all my flows I have an honest question. Why should I use this app to keep certain states. I now have boolean variables defined like: - Alarm Enabled - Alarm Enabled Partially - Alarm Enabled Total - ItIsLight - ItIsDark I am very curious. Kind regards, Peter. ---

I had the same question recently. See [my post above](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-flowbits-small-bits-of-logic-big-difference-in-your-flows/145855/78) and the developer’s response. ---

I think Sets are better for this case too. Is “Set State for a duration” implemented the same way as for timers? ---

I asked myself the same question. Although it does not always make sense, I would say there are use cases when Flowbits has an added value: I would say: - Use **Flags** when you want to visualize and/or update the boolean value from a dashboard widget - Use **Sets** when you want to - Check if one of multiple boolean variable is set - Allow only one of multiple boolean variables to be set ---

@Anders_Gregow Yes, sets also has a single scheduler for the entire feature 🙂 ---

@Peter_Hendrix Valid question, and some of the features are doable without FlowBits. The Flags feature is basically just variables with some easy flow cards and two widgets. I have a cleaning flag that my partner can activate from our wall-mounted iPad, which she finds easier to do. Explaining what “boolean variables” are was a bit too much 🙂 But for your alarm variables, that might work well with the Sets feature of the app. Every alarm is a state in a generalized set. You can check if the set is inactive, partially active or fully active. That could potentially make your flows smaller and easier to understand. ---

@staeff Sorry, forgot to reply to you! I think it should be possible, but I think that we need to set a minimum of for example 0,1 second. There are a lot of cards that have the duration + unit combo. Need to test with other features also… Edit: I just saw your pull request, nice, I’ll test tomorrow! ---

Hi @BasMilius, I’ve been following the development of this app for quite some time and have already replaced a few of my flows with some FlowBits functions. What I’m missing is a _ **When…** _ flow card for the “Sequence” function, like the one that exists for the built-in logic flow cards: **Sequence “name” has changed** Would it be possible to add this flow card? ---

Hi @BasMilius Again, I love your app, use it for a lot of things 😃 Still, for some reason I don’t get sliders to work. I’m having 2 receivers at home controlled via HEOS which have a volume range from 0-100. I tried setting up the flows to control the receivers but i’m getting stuck. You have any advice if these are correctly build? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/e/6ee170c780d130204bad9e5d14f2f2b283096ddb.png) Hope you (or anyone else) can point me in the right direction ---

Your flow will only finish when the volume is exactly 20%. Try losing the AND-cards and use the volume-tag in the THEN-card ‘stel slider volume Denon in op -volume-tag-Denon-‘ ---

Mind that percentage values in tags (in Logica cards) almost always work with a range of 0 - 1 instead of 0 - 100. Using `20` is out of range. ---

Just a heads up for everyone running FlowBits on their Homey running experimental release 12.13.0-rc.3; I receive a lot of crash reports since this update, something probably changed internally and I’m going to investigate tonight. All crash reports are coming from flow cards that have autocomplete in them.
