{else}
Our flow is starting to become more useful, but what if we are already at home and its not Friday in Spring? This is where the {else} comes in handy for triggering a new action.
The {else} will run, whenever all the {and} condition and all of the {or} conditions are not met, or are not true. We are going to update an existing action as well as add a new one with in{else}.
Ingredients
- Fibaro Switch (But you can use any smart light globe or switch.)
- [Date & Time] card, which give us access to time, date, day and even sun actions.
- [LED Ring] card, which gives us access to some homey LED ring actions.
- [Presence] card, which give us access to actions about peoples presence in the house.
Actions
-
{when} -
{and} -
{or}+{and} -
{then}x 2 -
{else}
Method
We would like to update our flow so that if we are not home, our Homey LED Ring should only be set to 5% brightness in order to save power, but when we are home we want it to be at full brightness.
- First we want to edit the current Homey Brightness card to be 10%. To edit a card, just touch the card the edit window will open and this looks/acts the same way as when originally adding the card.
- Next we want to add a new [LED Ring] card, set brightness 100% this is done the same as previous steps.
- With the new [LED Ring] Card we need move this to the else area. This is done the same as moving a card to the or area but
{else}will not be displayed until after we start dragging the card down.

Outcome
When we are not home after sunset the HOMEY ring dims to 10% to save power, but if its sunset and we are home, then set the ring LED to 100%.
