Hello, I’ve created the flow below to charge my PHEV at night but somehow it does not run. Am I doing something wrong? ![Screenshot_20260320_082129_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/d/4d122d22c9c41996e28948d3877113e7bed87903.jpeg) ---

Als de prijzen om 00:00 opgehaald worden, gaat dit niet lukken. Probeer het daarom eens tussen 00:30 en 07:30. ---

Usually tomorrow’s prices get announced around 1.00 pm? ---

In ieder geval blijft 00:00 een daggrens, dus een tijdspanne die binnen één dag ligt het proberen waard. ---

Whoops, I’ve only just noticed that the card says ‘from today’ (van vandaag) 🫣 In that case, it’s a bit odd that you can select times between 17:00 and 07:30; the end time you could choose should then be until 23:59. It’s not that unusual to want to trigger something like charging during the three cheapest hours between 9.00 pm and 6.00 am, for example. With Power by the Hour, that should certainly be possible, but I’m going to test it first: ![1218](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/9/892e258ddbbc0e39f86b62cfc25911d1f4ae1c5d.jpeg) ---

Thank you, this works but I prefer to extend the charging time slot a bit more. Actually from the moment I connected the car after work until I have to leave for work again. ![Screenshot_20260321_102104_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/9/39e88e140d20f0e4bb5883874a86a8e55bc34e9f.jpeg) ---

I ran into this problem aswell. In holland prices are announced somewhere between 13:00 and 15:00. So getting the cheapest hours between 17:00 and 07:00 next morning should not be a problem in my opinion. ---

Indeed but no solution yet. Looks like we are the only few who have this problem. ---

Either that or nobody reported it to Homey, so nobody is working on a solution. > **[Support | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/support/)** ---

When I follow the support flow I alway end up on the forum. Loop closed without any solution. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/6/76d32f2c7d9786358e6bf03b9e192ecd7a11b654.png) ---

I see, when I select “My account” and then select “Other”, I get the opportunity to create a request. They sure know how to hide stuff 😉 ---

Yeah they seem to check on how smart the audience actually is 😅 Like, “_Step 1: Soooo, let’s see if you can manage to contact support_”
