Error for detecting activity in a zone

Questions & Help

I have a advance flow for controlling my garage port, so it close when there i no activity in the zone.

The problem is, that I want to use a variable to define the time for inactivity, so I can have different time doing the day, but when I use a variable it only works around 10% of times where it should work.

I have reported it to Athom, but it seems they will not do anything about it, when I first report it, the OS was 12.8.2, and today today the OS is 13.1.2, but it still doesn’t work.

I have make some pushing test, so I can see when it works and when it not works.
And in December I make some statistic and send it to Athom.

So any help to get this solved will be appreciated.

I’m not sure what you’re expecting from the community. If you’re convinced this is a bug, and Athom is unwilling to fix it (or take a look at it), there’s nothing anyone here can do about it.

Is you variable being changed by any process, or did you simply use a variable to avoid “hardcoding”?

As a workaround you could use a timer in combination with some flows:

  • Zone becomes inactive => Start Timer for X minutes
  • Zone becomes active => Stop Timer
  • Timer Reaches 0 => Zones is inactive ? => Take action

For timers you could use an app like Flowbits, but there are others too

This is partly correct, but I hope that some people from Athom also read the community. I’m not sure if it has been passed on to the developers, and maybe others have seen the same bug. The more people who report the bug, the more likely it is to be fixed. It’s actually quite difficult to report a bug to Athom.

yes and no, My plan is to change the variable during the day, but in relation to my push test, the variable has the same value as the static value.

But good idea about using a timer to register inactivity, I will check if I can use a variable to define the timer length,
