Hi,
In the flow below I’d like to log a message why the Quooker turned on or off. Such as:
- The boiling water turned on because R came home
- The boiling water turned on because R woke up
- The boiling water turned off because R went to sleep
- The boiling water turned off because R left home
- The boiling water turned off because it’s 23:59
I’m not familiar yet with creating values that can be used further along in a flow (I think I’ve seen that this is possible in certain scenario’s).
Is there an elegant way to do this? Or should I just create multiple notification messages. For this flow that would be just 5 notifications but for more complex flows I can see this grow old quickly.

There are Yes/No tags for presence and sleep available
