Hey Homeys!
A few times I have found myself needing to create a flow that will only be used once. I’ll refrain from giving any existing examples (since if I do some people will not be able to resist the urge to solve it in more or less creative ways that are workarounds for what I’m suggesting as a function).
So I will try to give an hypothetical example. Let’s say that I never leave my house more than a couple of days in a row and my biggest hobby is to water my house plants. However, now I’m planning to go away on a two week trip. I rig a plant watering system with a little pump that I schedule to run for 5 seconds every other day during my absence.
I would love to have a ”delete flow”-card that I can put in the flow for this watering schedule when it has run its course. WHEN ”date is” day of my arrival home THEN ”Delete flow”. Launch and forget so to say. With this function the user can create flows for one time events and never have to remember to delete them when the event is over.
I know that some of you that are reading this see no use of such a function, and that is fine. But please can I ask you not to express that opinion in this thread. Also, I’m sure that some of you have super great ways to fix the watering example I gave above…but please understand that I don’t need it solved since it’s hypothetical example (I hate my plants).
I see the need for this ”delete flow”-card, and that is fine to…and since this is the suggestions and idea category everyone should be free to post suggestions and ideas without having to defend them to other members of the forum. If you think my idea is stupid please just move along and by all means feel free to laugh at me on your side of your screen.
