@Rocodamelshekima Any news about this? :slight_smile:

Sorry, no news.

for the similar requirement I’ve prepared the following workaround using timer, IFTTT button and webhook.

IFTTT provides button widget for mobiles phones and custom webhook action.

  • 1st flow starts a timer and sends notification, let say “confirm an action within 5min with IFTTT button”
  • 2nd flow waits for webhook
  • 3rd flow executes either when button is pressed (timer stopped) or when timer is finished without interruption.
  • when IFTTT button is pressed, then IFTTT webhook request is sent to Homey and timer is stopped.
  • when IFTTT button is NOT pressed, then Homey receives NO IFTTT webhook request and timer finishes without interruption.

Trying to achieve the same thing…. Send push confirmation and would like the else statement to run when I do not actively respond the the push confirmation message….

Good for finding a 3 year old topic :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
But it has changed since, though this is only possible with Advanced Flows on/with the “Error” nipple, as not responding ends in a timeout activating the “Error”.

Or try the Telegram app. You can ask a question, that needs an answer. If you ‘wait’ a certain time in the advanced flow, you can run a default action.
