Ok so I’m trying to create a flow for a scene button, it would be triggered by pressing the scene button and depending on the date it would trigger a different scene. My question is how would i set a conditions for the “between dates” without setting the year? I know there is card to choose between two dates, but it forces me to choose a year so i would have to constantly have to change the year to make them work.

Work around:

Create a yes/no variable and change the value on a certain date.

Check the value when pressing the button:

Seems like a good idea, i would just have to create a variable for every different holiday on the year. I just figured there would be a way to ignore the year value in the card, nevertheless your suggestion does actually work, thanks!
