Hi there,
I would like to crate a flow based on the following parameters:
- power current used by a device is between 1.8A and 2.2A
- in a time period of about 10 minutes
anyone has an idea on how to achieve this?
If you own a Homey Pro, this is a way to achieve it, Martijn. And welcome here!
This is also possible when using standard flows, youâll need 2 flows:
1 for the power change trigger
1 for the timer finished trigger
Oh, and this is how to find the right tag of a device
Thanks very much! Iâll give it a try.
Some questions:
- What happens if power is fluctuating between 1,8 and 2.2?
- What happens if power is between 1,8 and 2.2 for a minute within 10 minutes?
And are the answers what you want/need??
Donât know yet. Itâll need a bit of testing and tweaking.
Good point. I think an additional âamps within rangeâ YesNo variable needs to be set, which then drives the timer. This eliminates the fluctuation triggers.
Nothing I hope 
What did I miss?
You are using Pause where I think you could better use Stop (As DirkG)
Doesnât matter if Pause or Stop is used when we start the timer with the âStart or Replaceâ card.
Itâs a different story when one uses âStart or Resumeâ card. But we donât in this case.
I still don´t understand the where this is related with the above
My mistake 
because of the use of the Pause and not seen the use of the start or replace, I was thinking after the pause the time would continue. So that the timer could reach 10 minutes separated over time.
But indeed you use the start or replace so nothing unexpected will happen.

Took some time to do proper testing and tweaking, but it works great!
Thanks for all the advice.
This is all great info. The issue I have is the Ikea Inspelning and when used in the âandâ card mode it only gives ONE option:
Which seems like particularly weak sauce to me. If I could link two âWhenâ cards together as both needed conditionals that might work, but either way, those would likely need to come after a âWhenâ card for when power changes.
I guess I need to go find other on/off switches (for the US) that have a few more⌠options.
Maybe you can share what you want to achieve?
For most âAndâ options, youâll need to use one of the logics cards. A main reason for developers not to create additional âAndâ cards for standard conditions.
Apps often provide for info through so called âtagsâ. Tags can be considered as variables controlled by apps only. You can use those tags to read out their values.
