I made a script to make my shutters go down when a certain °C is reached and also when a certain lux level is reached. When I test the script, it works but when I want to create an automated flow nothing happens.  
How can I solve this?

thx

We can’t read your mind yet 😬☺  
Please share script, flow and error message(s), thanks.

Hint, in advanced flow you can run code right from a Homeyscript “Then” card: “Run `code` …”

For the flow I don’t have an error it just won’t automatically start

Thx

</div>

The trigger card only triggers once, when the temp was below 25° and then became greater than 25.  
Just like how a thermostat functions.

When it’s already over 25°, and the temperature rises, it will never trigger.

Oh ok and is there a way to trigger it again at a higher temperature if the lux hasn’t been reached but reached once it’s 26°C? Or do I create a new script and flow? Thx

Yes, add another flow with  
When..  
Lux became greater than X  
And..  
logic card [temperature] is greater than 25  
Then..

A bit like this logic card, you can just enter `25` into the second field:

Do you know how to find and insert a tag from a sensor?

Does this looks like it?

</div>

Yes.  
You can add notification cards at Then and Else, to be able to see what happens. You can add the lux and temperature tags f.i., and the flow name.

@Har_Dou for your future projects you may consider using triggers like this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/b/4b920af11d154106c49dac8a5607ec52748c25e1.png)  
with this trigger flow is started every time your sensors updates value (of luminance in my case), but keep in mind it might be too often to run the whole flow (depends on frequency of your sensor synchronization), so you can add simple logic to continue flow only in valid scenarios, like this:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/2/82c8db73a7a19c5a73a49d3e590a3e333b6cc839.png)  
so you will not run your code every time your sensor updates but only if relevant… hope it helps for your future automations 😉
