## `{then}` again

* * *

Previously we created a flow, which would turn on the porch light at sunset, but we can do as many actions as we like. In this example we will be adding a second `{then}` which will also brighten the Homey LED when the sun sets.

## Ingredients

1. [[Fibaro Switch]](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.fibaro) (But you can use any smart light globe or switch.)
2. _[Date & Time]_ card, which give us access to time, date, day and even sun actions.
3. _[LED Ring]_ card, which gives us access to some homey LED ring actions.

## Actions

- `{when}`
- `{then}`

## Method

Using the flow we started in the previous post, adding another `{then}` action is as simple as going to `{then}` section and adding another action.

1. Slide up the `{then}` section
2. Click ⨁ Add Card
3. Select the _‘LED Ring’_ action a list of options will be displayed.
4. Select the _‘Set Brightness’_ option and the values of this option will be displayed.
5. Move the slider to _‘100%’_ then click the ✓ in the top right.
6. And finally click ✓ Save from the bottom left of the screen.
