Hey everyone, I would like to do the following. I currently have a variable in my system called state that stores the state of the day [MORNING, EVENING…] when I press on from a button (let’s say I’m using a zwave button in the livingroom) I would like to set a state in hue called livingroom\_{state} that could be livingroom\_MORING, livingroom\_EVENING etc! How can I do such thing? Thanks! ---

Yes I would like to set a scene passing the scene name that is a concatenation of a String and a String variable ---

As the scenes selection in the flow card work with a so called “autocomplete” function in homey to get the full list in the flow card (you really need to select/click an option), makes it impossible to do what you want unfortunately. the easiest way is to create a separate flow for each option you want ---

> [@Caseda](#): > > the easiest way is to create a separate flow for each option you want That would indeed be the way to go. (And having to flows is also very clear) Make two flows with the different livingroom\_{state} setting in the THEN. (Flow A and flow B for selection off the correct flow you habe two options: 1 disable/enable the flows based on the state [MORNING, EVENING…] Flow A: when switch is pressed THEN set livingroom\_MORNING Flow B: when switch is pressed THEN set livingroom\_EVENING IF a value is changed “state” AND state=morning THEN enable flow A, disable flow B IF a value is changed “state” AND state=evening THEN enable flow B, disable flow A 2 use the AND to select the correct flow
