It would be great if the presence trigger flow cards got some variants that took duration into account. For instance… “First person came home and stayed home for X seconds/minutes”

Use case:  
My wife works close by our home and will often pass it while at work. Some flows don’t actually need to run when she is only “home” for 2 minutes. Also many flows are standard flows, that I don’t want to be advanced flows, even if I could solve it by using those.

The Better Logic Library app had flowcards for x stayed x for x period.  
Youcould use those. Set the variable to true when the first person comes home and to false when she/he leaves.

Thank you. That sounds like a good tip. I’ll have a look and see if I can get to work.

I would still like it to be a built in feature of Homey and not have to rely on Better Logic Library though.
