Flow doesn’t start automatically

Questions & Help

Dear Homey users,

I have created a flow to switch on the AC on our bedroom when the humidity reaches a certain percentage. For some reason the flow will not start automatically and I have to manually start it each morning.

Aqara sensor

Mitsubishi AC

Additionally I have a flow to power off the AC when the humidity reaches a certain level and that one works fine. And if the humidity rises again the flow to turn the AC on then works fine.

It is only in the morning that the flow to start the AC doesn’t work.

Does anyone have an idea why the flow wouldn’t start automatically each morning?

The screenprint is not visible but I’m guessing you are using
‘Humidity becomes more than 60%’as trigger and as condition ‘it’s after 8:00’ then turn on AC.
The flow will not trigger if the humidity is already more then 60 before 8:00.

You will need an extra trigger:
WHEN
it’s 8:00
AND
humidity is greater than 60
THEN
turn on AC

Thanks for the information Wim.

The thing is that I wanted to create the flow as you mention but the Aqara T1 sensor isn’t available under “And”. It is only available under “When” (not sure why this is).

I’ll have look if I can find another way to get the flow working.

Use the logic AND-card ‘tag is greater than ..’
Tap the tag-icon and fill the deviceneme in the searchfield

Because a lot of data is already present in the device tags / app tags.
The generic Logic cards can be used for comparisons / calculations
