Hi guys,
I would like to create a flow that, for example, automatically turns the holiday mode on if no movement in the living room has been detected for 24 hours.
Someone good ideas about this? Then I would like to hear that.
Thank you
And check the Heimdall app!
I tried with countdown. I read about the running timers. Thatâs the reason Iâam searching for an other option! Thank you.
How do you suggest to make âafter 24 hourâ? Geofence is an option, but also a little buggy here! 
Thx. I think I will manually turn on the holiday mode 
2 times a year 
Youâd could schedule it?
Yes I can, not my first or second choice ,
How about making a âpresence outâ flow logging the time to a variable, then set a scheudle every morning to check if the lapse time is more than 24hrs?
When someone left home and nobody is home, execute mathjs expression
$timenow$ to a better logic variable.
At say 12pm, executemath js expression $timenow$ > ($yourvariable$ + (24*60*60))
You could also set a geofence with ifttt and trigger a flow when u are out of the geofence area
Plz donât get me wrong but u wanna push a button like every day to override a flow but when u go on holidays twice a year u want that automated?

You are right 
! You have a better solution for my problem with override a flow 
Is holiday mode built in?
I donât think so. I use Virtual Devices to build Holiday etcâŚ
flow 1: IF last person left the house THEN set status at AWAY= true AND HOME=false AND HOLIDAY=false AND start countdown at 24H
flow2: IF coundown reache 0 THEN set status at HOLIDAY= true and AWAY=false AND HOME=false
flow 3: IF first person enters the house THEN set status at HOME=true AND AWAY=false AND HOLIDAY=false AND stop countdown.
Make status with the APP BETTERLOGIC and everything goes automatic.
Just wondering, why do you need both AWAY and HOME variables? They would always be the opposite of each other, wouldnât they?

See the post above yours:
Away is used for âregular awayâ and can therefor trigger certain actions. When Holiday becomes true, you want to set Away to false as well to distinguish being away for a longer period of time than regularly would be the case. This way you use Home or Away for day to day triggering and Holiday for Holiday triggering.
Of course you could also add an extra condition on the regular Away flows âAND Holiday = FALSEâ. This way a separate Away boolean isnât needed.
Oh, sorry. Didnât read thoroughly enough. I guess I would try to choose another variable name/solution then. Since it feels confusing to me to have a variable stating that I am not away when I am on a holiday. Need to remember that away doesnât mean away when on a holiday.
But it is probably only one person managing the variables, so it might not be a problem. I guess a virtual button is even better as mentioned.
