(On Homey Pro this is not occurring)

Hi all,

@ Homey (beta / cloud):  
After creating some flows to trigger on weather changes, I think I found a little bug.

This flow saves the weather type to a created text variable, every 15 minutes, regardless if it has changed or not:

.  
This flow gets triggered by a change of the created variable, but,  
it also triggers when the var got updated with the same value.  
The 2nd trigger situation shouldn’t happen, while the value did not change:

.  
Can anyone reproduce this?  
(It also occurs with numeric variables)

~Peter

In English: The code is fixed, but when it gets implemented is unkown.
