Are 'durations' on Flow actions a proper thing yet? My MCP can do it but I can't lol

Hi Homey gang,

Flagging what I can’t tell is a UI issue or something else in the Flow editor: the transition time (duration) setting on device action cards like Dim to… and Set Colour Temperature to…

On existing cards that already have a duration added by MCP (using the API via Claude, outsmarting me constantly), I can see and remove it. But on a brand new card, I can’t find any way to add a duration in the first place, on web or iOS.

There’s a good old delay option on cards, but no visible control for how long the change itself takes, i.e. the fade.

Worth noting when editing these flows through the Homey MCP integration, the duration works fine. So the feature’s still there, just seemingly hidden in the current Flow UI - unless I’m being stupid.

Let me know if I’m missing something, or if this is a bug. Happy to send screenshots if useful.

Thanks,

Elliot

After adding the duration to the flowcard, you can click in the flowcard on the indicated duration (default is 1 sec). You’ll get a pop-up control to change the duration:

Note: It depends on the light / app if the duration option is available or not.
It’s not a generic feature as hallucinated by AI.
