This flow turns on other lights outside at sunset and should turn them off at sunrise, used to work when I used Better Logic (and also worked yesterday, but not today…)
Well, changed all my flows to use the tags, but it’s still not working as it should.
Lights didn’t turn on at sunrise so that’s good (but could just have been luck).
But the lights that had to turn off didn’t…
I just noticed Homey updated this app to version 0.8.1 which was, according to the app store, released today. But I can’t find what has changed. Github doesn’t show any changes at all.
Am using heimdall in combination with virtual devices that represent sensors from my separate alarm system (sensor updates are transmitted to homey via X10). This all seems to work, ie I see sensor updates in Heimdall.
However, I cannot trigger off a virtual sensor. Have tried 2 ways; using the “changed” card as well as the “virtual device has changed” card. In both cases I can see the virtual device being updated in Heimdall logging but the flow does not trigger.
@pim555 I replied to Maikel.
I’ll have to investigate your issue further, when I have time.
Are you using Homey V2?
And did you create the new Homey App to create the flow?
I will use a Arduino in combination Homeyduino for communication to Homey.
The question is what kind of virtual Devices should I use?
I think I have to use at least two devices, one for the states and one for the commands?
Any ideas?
thanks!
edit: I think the “window covering” with the condition up/idle/down will be the best solution?
Without trying to rush you, do you have an estimate on when you are able to look into this?
The lights in the living room behave very strange now, but I do prefer using Virtual Devices instead of changing the flows.
it’s the one where the on-state for a light is not correctly switched. I also created an issue on GitHub about it.
I tried to work around the issue by changing the on-state in the script called by Homey, but that doesn’t seem to work very well either.
In general I never promise a release or fix date since I work on items in my spare time and I currently prefer to work on other (non-Homey) projects. Also for Homey v2 issues I’m depending on Athom to either give me more info or fix their issues.
So if it is crucial for you, I would go for plan B.
I have a question about the thermostat device.
I added one with the capabilities “target temperature” and “measure temperature”
The target temperature works fine so far. I use this to set the target temperature for several thermostats.
But I don’t know how to set the “current temperature” of the device.
I tried some flow actions but I did not find a proper solution.
Can somebody give me some advice?
