I would like to have an option to set a certain time, f.e. 17:00 and than have Homey count backwards the time needed to charge my car, in order to start charging in time. However, this is not the problem, I can create flows for that; what I’m looking for is how to have easy access to set a (any) ti…

If it would charge within 120 minutes I would go for a Alarm (expecting you to use a Homey Pro, na for Homey (beta) ) But I am afraid you need more time and this is a limitation in the Flow Trigger. ( Or maybe you just need Faster Chargers :wink: ) [image]

never used an alarm (always thought; why the hell would I want to set an alarm in Homey with all the alarms on my phone, watch etc)… Maybe underestimated the functionality, so this might be a use case. I’ll see whats possible with alarms

Alarms are not what I’m looking for. My usecase: set a time to leave (i.e. the time I need to get in my car) have Homey calculate back the time to start charging, based on the “chargingtime left” (number of minutes) value that the car reports start charging on “time-to-leave” -/- “chargingtime le…

Maybe here are some useful ideas: [image] HomeyScript seconden naar uren, minuten en seconden Flows Echt super nuttig is dit niet, maar wel leuk voor de mensen die graag dingen bijhouden. Ik heb dit HomeyScript gemaakt om de uitkomst van een stopwatch leesbaarder te maken.…

The app which could possibly do this, is Flow Utilities, I’ve given the devs your usecase, maybe they’ll know a way…

Thanks @Peter_Kawa for letting us know about this case. We are going to investigate how Flow Utilities can help with that. We will share the results on our topic: [APP][Pro] Flow Utilities - #110 by Peter_Kawa

Could it be done with Better Logic, specifically the Mathjs cards? Say I need to leave at 17:00, and my car needs 3 hours to charge to full (according to the car), I need the car to start charging at 14:00 I don’t really need to work with times; if I use numeric times, 1700 instead of 17:00, I can…

Quite impressive, I copied it, but it doesn’t work yet

I finetuned it a bit, it works great now. The flows: [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] I have a few flows that set certain default times on certain days of the week (like when I go work out on wed/sun)
