Does it trigger 14:10 when the variable is 23:00? Or do you mean that it triggers when you use the test flow feature? Then it will start even though the time is not matching the tag beacuse this is a “When” card. ---

Hi Kjeet90, I think you are right. I tested with the test feature. I will try real live. Thanks for your reply! ---

hi @kjeet90 , it seems I am having a bit of an issue with timey not triggering on a time in the when cards. the top one is triggering, the bottom is not (test time was set to 12), so it seems whole numbers are oke, long decimals are not: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/c/fc33fc4c5c558c87a10d6eddc560b1e7ddd310ae.png) time 13 triggers (only the first one), time 13.1 does not work at all. so seems decimals are no longer functioning…. adding any decimal (.1, .11 etc) none work… ---

You need to use {[expression]} like you mentioned [here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-timey-make-your-time-flows-dynamic-with-variables/118139/8) to use the BLL features, you have {{ expression }} so that’s being considered invalid ---

no BLL used here. just normal tags and text…its getting stranger. the first and the last work: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/9/497b183b3994253243898502a8d43884c8fe2557.png) Ill do the BLL route and see if that helps ---

The card does not accept expressions like that. The built in logic cards in Homey does, but not this app. To do calculation you have to use the BLL expression (and have BLL installed) start and stop brackets which are {[expression]}, else I just expect a valid time format matching the ones in the first post of this thread ---

does the output of the bll need to be in the format mentioned, or can the outcome in the {[]} be like 4.356566? the confusing thing is I have used timey i lot in many flow using {{ }}, and normally seems to work ---

The result of the BLL calculation must match one of the valid formats mentioned in the first post. The {[expression]}just tells the code to send it to BLL for decoding. Using {{ }} shouldn’t have worked, so no idea what’s the deal there ---

just tried this, with time at 13.8. none triggered from 13:48: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/2/22212efc93b900f8283f80f7b919b14210e86919.png) ---

just for clarity, out put of 9.5 is allowed, 9.50 is allowed, but 9.501 is not? you mention optional amount, so assuming that should be oke. ---

oke. so tried everything…. 13.9 did not trigger anything 14 did not tigger anything either the more i try, the less works 🤣 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6fd516a21855f7dc2d5cc2eca341171c6316d911.png) ---

I have never used the BLL stuff myself, so I don’t know much about that. I’ll have to look into this at some point, but I can’t give a timeline on when that’ll be. ---

Looks like there are some built in logic support to what’s being passed to the flow cards by Homey then. Why it’s not working for the when cards I can’t say, but I’ll look into it when I get time ---

Oke, did one last test, to provide some more info. for now Ill try to see how I need to adapt the flows to make them work. if you ever get around to it, let me know if you need help to test/provide input): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/7/47f298bad8ac604c8fa58bd5055f23c3fe6be2eb.png) 10, 12, 13, 17, 18 fire. 15, 16 do not the and card does function correctly (when manually testing, before the stated time it gives the no flow, after that it gives the yes flow). So the calculations do work, but not consistently. ---
