In the 2.0 mobile app, what does the icon in front of flows mean? Some of them has a Green «play button» in them, and some is gray. Do the gray ones not work?

Gray means “no manual start possible”. Mostly because the flow is triggered by a specific input from a sensor (like movement of lux).

In the attached picture i have equal sensors and flows.  
Some is green and some is grey but they should be the same?

The green ones you can manually run when ever you like from the app. The gray ones (which still work) can not be ran by you ‘on demand’

I hope this clarifies.

Thanks

First 2:  
**Green play button, not faded.**  
_Flow enabled_, and is able to run, by for example pressing the play icon or from favorite flows.

Middle 2:  
**Grey play button, not faded.**  
_Flow enabled_, and is _not_ able to run by pressing the play icon, because the flow **needs/uses** a value of the _trigger card_.

Last 2:  
**Green play button, faded to 50% opacity.**  
_Flow (trigger) disabled_, and is able to run, by for example pressing the play icon or from favorite flows.

And 1 more situation not shown:  
**Gray play button, faded to 50% opacity.**  
_Flow (trigger) disabled_, and is _not_ able to run by pressing the play icon, because the flow **needs/uses** a value of the _trigger card_.
