Hi, I have a simple flow that in defined times stores outside temperature as a variables. Or, it should… I’m using a Homey’s “Weather/temperature" variable, but the output is still the same number, so it seems that variables didn’t updated in flow. Am I missing something? ---

Did the flow ever work? Maybe you should post a screenshot of the flow so we can check it out. ---

This is the main part of the flow: ![Flow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/5/152ef42e86ee6a240718982a1a1d0f7666bb1a6d.png) But obviously, the values never changed since it was created: ![Values](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/a/aa84881ca4bf0e42520724476586642ebbde06f0.png) ---

Hm, when I tried to test it now, it shows an error message. It wasn’t there when I built the flow, so probably Weather/Temp variable have some expiration? ![Error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/6/46db758a8d6cfb930bec7bbbb7ec4b88f98d6f20.png) Because it seems like a number to me… 🤷‍♂️ ![Variables](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/3/23c0a76e4c971a01c79a94f6a318cf115b5803ae.png) ---

That number in the screenshot is an example. Did you set your Homey’s location correctly? And does the mobile app show the weather correctly? ---

Yes, location is set correctly and weather in home screen seems to work properly. ---

To see what the actual value is, you can add a timeline card, and add the temperature tag to it. Next, test run that card. It might show `NaN` ---

Thanks. That looks like a valid number (not text or error). This should work fine in your original logic flow cards, can you try again? ---

No… 😕 Value in T3 is not updated even in the notification it is displayed properly.

Very strange.

Can you show the definition of the T1, T2 and T3 variables? I expect those to be of type number. ---

They should be, and a blue tag (from weather temperature) should contain a numeric as well. Hence my question to add it to a timeline card to view the actual value. ---

Is the T3 variable defined as a numeric type? So not a text or yes/no type? ---

Yes, all variables are number variables. See the image of T1 in my previous post. ---

I had the same problem, updating a variabel won’t work. Look like a bug for me. My solution is to write some script what get de id of the variable and write the value into it. The call the script by the flow. ---

That’s a nice workaround, but I don’t have PRO (yet?), and this is not possible on the bridge. [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/built-in-weather-variable-doesnt-update/145191.md?page=2)
