That’s really strange…Mine comes in as “yes”, I change it, when I write the variable again it’s still “yes”…Maybe I need to contact support, then? The whole behavior is contra to everything I know from development, and I just created this little snippet to test it out.
Excuse me, but I don’t quite get it.
If I change “CV_Off” from No to Yes, then “CV_On” is automatically changed from Yes to No. And of course vice versa. And this doesn’t work for you?
Are there any other flows with these two variables?
Hmmm…that shouldn’t be an issue. I know I have flows setting these variables, but as far as I know there are no flows intercepting the change. I did try to change the variables (I had to reboot the Homey to access them, which was strange), and that seemed to work - so I’m not ruling anything out.
Do you know a way to see which flows uses variables, like you can look at a device and see which flows they are in?
Actually, you dont need to copy the TEF yourself.
After you press Create TEF, the TEF is automaticly placed in your clipboard, so you just need ctrl+v to paste it somewhere 
Translation: TEF allready in clipboard.

Flow import worked, I adjusted it with added ms timestamps.
It seems to work well.
@Tiwas How did you test?
When I switched the start button I saved the flow every time. Then I ran the flow by rightclick on it’s name and hit ‘start’.

I suddenly got the urge to hug you
Anyway - it showed what I believed to be true: those two variables are only in use in two places, they are set in scripts. No other events for handling them if they change.
One question, though - does the script look in advanced flows as well?

I saved it, then clicked the blue button to set one of the vars to ‘yes’. Right clicking it shouldn’t do anything other than that, should it?
Doesn’t look like it
Im adding Advanceds Flows now, i also need this script

Please note: This script does include droptokens at all! And Variables are used in droptokens a lott! like, every condition card!
(And droptokens are not a sub-object/part-of the args.)
Meaning: This script does not(!) tell you all flows that use a variable, mostly the Logic (condition) cards themself!
I am alltering the script because i need the same for DC/AVD/TFE, so ill fix it, just wait
You’re a saint! Keep me updated 
Would this be a good candidate for an app?
Allready adding it to DC/AVD/TFE
But way more advanced!
To search for devices, zones, whatever.

Thanks!
A lovely script is on it’s way, but during testing i found a bug in a app of mine, fixing that first
@Peter_Kawa , @RonnyW and @Tiwas
Here is a/the new script. I am not completly done, and the return is not exactly like it was with the other script.
Still improving it, but i throught i would share it, so you could look at it and perhaps if you have questions or are missing something, let me know.
@RonnyW since you created an original script, i thought you might like this one.
Total time to search for all variables within all Flows and Advanced flows, also within droptokens and dropdownlists/selects from other apps: 1.4 seconds. Thats how its done!
(In real-live, i rewrite scripts (and SQLs) for beter performance , so i always love to make it faster )
You can also search for Devices allready(!), but i don’t have the filter up there yet, so you would probably get all flows you have
But it will show you for all devices in wich flows they are!
It also searches “smart” in arguments, so it will also find references directly by other apps.
My DC Get Insights from Log for [device] flowcards also show up when searching for references!

P.s. adding zones and other stuff and a pre filter, so you can give id’s for what you are searching for (for a single device for instance)

Okay, i have updated the script a lott: A (Homey) Script to find Any Items (Devices, ZOnes, Apps, Variables) in any flow - Flows - Homey Community Forum
You can search for
//return await FindObject('variables');
//return await FindObject('devices');
//return await FindObject('zones');
//return await FindObject('apps');
//return await FindObject('variables', 'test');
//return await FindObject('variables', 'c31ecacc-26fe-448e-ab00-d109618c8382');
//return await FindObject('devices', [{id:'f6ef2b6f-e3f2-4ecf-a205-4f919a7a6d3f'}, {name:'Test AVD'}, {name:'Light SwitCH'} ]);
//return await FindObject('zones', 'Hal*'); //Use astrix at the end means it tries to find the start of the name
return await FindObject('apps', 'Device Cap*');
See the topic, ill continue the script itself there.
