Who can help me with the following flow or flows I would like to create: > I want to close the screens between 14:00 and sundown. > Close parameters available: lux, temp, wind (maybe later rain with Buienradar) > Neo coolcam for Lux (created logica that will update lux value) > Openweather for temp and wind > Fibaro shutter 3 > Check conditions every 15 or 30 (?) minutes and open or close if necessary Currently I have one flow with: > If 14:00 hours > And lux is more then x, windspeed is below y, temp is higher then z > Then close screen What would be the best approach to accomplish this screen automation and have it checked for changing conditions between afternoon and sundown. Cheers, Jeroen ---

My aproach would be: Flow: # close screens WHEN this flow is started THEN close screen1, close screen2, close screen3 Flow: \> check if screens can close WHEN this flow is started AND lux \> x, windspeed\z THEN start flow “# close screens”, start flow “\> disable flows” Flow: ! Lux close screens WHEN lux is changed THEN start flow “ \> check if screens can close” Flow: ! Wind close screens WHEN windspeed is changed THEN start flow “ \> check if screens can close” Flow: ! Temp close screens WHEN temp is changed THEN start flow “ \> check if screens can close” Flow: @14:00 enable flows WHEN time=14:00 THEN start flow “\> enable flows” WHEN this flow is started THEN enable flow ! Lux close screens, enable flow ! Wind close screens, enable flow ! Temp close screens Flow: @sundown disable flows WHEN time=sundown THEN start flow “\> disable flows” Flow: \> disable flows WHEN this flow is started THEN disable flow ! Lux close screens, disable flow ! Wind close screens, disable flow ! Temp close screens Also add some flows to open the screens again… ---

Hi Fkey, Thanks for your reply. I’m going to work on this! Jeroen ---

@FKey, interesting way you are going. Do I understand right that you disable Flows instead of using variables? So you save some additional flows? ---

I use both methods: disable and variable in the AND. - I use disable for flows that are triggered by devices that generate a lot of triggers. Like temperature sensors and lux sensors. - and with variables for flows that do not trigger often (time, sunset, ) Never had any issues that homey got into overload. But it feels better not to trigger flows every x minutes instead of triggering them and stop them by variable in the AND ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > So you save some additional flows? When building flows I cut them up in many small flows. I learned this helps to keep the flows readable and understandable.

I’ve already seen your post, great job! 👍🏼 But it is not easy for me to understand the screenshots in Dutch. The flows in this post were easier for me to understand.
