@kjeet90 , Is it a way to differ when it will it accept MM and Decimal, seems like it is the same “when” card? ![bilde](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/1/f182c6ffb77584b7992365f2475919ffec69f47d.png) ---

The cards now accepts both formats. If you hover the little ℹ it says that you can use either HH:mm or HH.decimal ---

Thanks @kjeet90 , I saw that. Then I will just adopt my flows to give a error if it no leading zero, when needed. A couple of flow cards less for @Patrick_Van_Deursen , a couple of more for me. 😂 No big deal ---

Why would you need to change anything? It still accepts the same as it did before. If you use : as a separator it requires two numbers after the : but if you use . you can use one or more ---

Good thinking @kjeet90 , did not think of the separator as a break. ---

So, the and card clearly works if I use the test from here feature in the advanced flows. I seems as though this does not trigger in the flows themselves? The when card clearly does not seem to trigger. I am using a number variable and not a text variable. not sure if that should be an issue though. None of these trigger unfortunately: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/f/bf6c2daceb385fa90a914b38715eb862896529d0.png) and neither does this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/a/bab38a2b9858f52d4c47ec5fa9463516bb8bed9b.png) ---

for decimal version. I looks like 9 does not work (for o’clock), and I need to use 9.0? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/d/cd9d64fa67552db9a4d69e818bdab6d829b18170.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/86d4d9bd8a31afd972073c3f2f94870cdae95d2e.png) ---

Yes, it requires to have either a . or a : Edit: I’ll add support for whole numbers like 9 without . or : and consider that to be 09:00. Don’t have time to do that today though ---

like a charm! Will do a last check this night, and then switch over to timey driving the respective flows! ---

Yes, will try. And it seems to work! Will give it some more tests the coming days, but thanks for the implementation. Reduces the amount of variables and simplified the calculations 🙂 ---

Great app. Thank you. I’ve never understood why the standard Date & Time flowcards aren’t supporting variables as an input (hh:mm would be ok for an out of the box feature). Two questions, maybe feature requests: 1. Have you thought about supporting a flow card that determines if a given time is before or after another given time. For example: I am calculating the time when a specific light mood is turned on based on the sunset. If the calculated time is later than a given time I want to apply a different schedule. 2. Related to my use case above where I take the sunset as a basis to determine when to select a light mood: Have you thought about providing a flow card that adds or subtracts hours or minutes to a given time and returns it as a variable? Maybe it’s possible via a BLL expression, but I have no clue how… ---

This should be possible with BLL I guess, just to post what you want to achieve in the BLL topic and I’m sure someone will help you out with that one 🤟 ---
