Hi, When it is 23:30 during week days, I want to turn off the light. That’s easy. 🙂 But in addition to that, I would like to use the push notification to send a message to my phone for asking if the light should be turned off. That’s easy. 🙂 But after some time, if I havn’t pressed any answer to the push notification on my phone, I want the light to be turned off anyway. Does anyone know how to by-pass the answer of a push notification so that the flow continues? Thank’s! ---

Just wait it out and it executes the else? I know there’s people who want the flow not to execute te else so I’m not sure if that changed… ---

No, if you press “yes” on the push notification, the “then” executes. If you press “no”, the “else” executes. But if you don’t press anything, nothing is executed and the flow waits there. And this is this case I want to catch, doing something (starting a flow) after some time if no “yes” or “no” has been pressed. Any idea? ---

For speech flow card, there is ask for confirmation or ask for specific answer but not for the mobile notification. There is only “send a push confirmation” Curious too as I’m looking for something to “time out” the mobile notification response and execute the else actions… ---

Wait… you can can have a yes/no reply on a notification? where can i find this? Can only find a way to send a push message to my phone… but not ask for a response…? ---

Yes, you put a push notification in the “AND” condition. You will then get a message on your phone with question “yes” or “no”. Pressing “yes” and the flow continues with “then”. Pressing “no” and the flow continues with “else”. Very nice function but as I wrote I want to continue with the “else” flow after a time without response on the push notification… ---

maybe you can start a concurrent flow with a timeout timer and action, and reset the timer when a reply is given ? ---
