Correct me if i’m wrong. But I can’t find a way to make an easy flow on a specific day in ‘date and Time’ Like: Every thuesday set de outdoor lamp at 7pm on ---

In the And section you can select any given day of the week if you select «today is» under the date and time segment. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/e/ed894b99521c9230ad1b7cc0bdb1f5c2e8dfbd50.jpeg) ---

You can set the day in the AND column. Trigger at 7pm and check for the day in AND. So: IF The time is… 19:00 AND Today is a… Tuesday THEN Set outdoor lamp ---

But why can I only do it on a specific time. Like every thuesday set the outdoor lamp on. ---

You can. IF the outdoor lamp is off And the day is Tuesday Then turn on outdoor light. ---

Then it would go on at 0:00 hours presumably if that’s even possible in Homey (which it is but only for “the date becomes”… This is because “the outdoor lamp is off” is not a trigger, it’s a condition (for the “and”). The trigger is a specific moment/event : when I arrive home, when it’s 0.00 hours, when a button is pushed… ---

Hi, I’m new with Homey. Can anyone help how to create this very simple WHEN?: when week day 6am OR weekend 7am which I was able to do used 2 “cards” on my previsou smart bridge (Tuya). Thanks! ---

That are two flows When 6am And it is a Weekday Then … Second Flow When 7a And its a Weekend Day Then … ---

Thanks. Yes, I think this way, too. Just want to be sure that there is no other simple way how to do that. I have a flow which starts at 6 on weekdays but at 7 in weekend. ---

Hi, I’m comming bact to this topic again. I have a “wake up light” to help my children wake-up in the morning. As they have very different schedule for each day, the light runs on a specific time almost each days (4 different times from Mon to Sat). Using Tuya smart bridge there is one flow only with different times & days with OR between: ```auto Mon at 6:15 OR Thu at 6:00 OR Tue, Wed, Fri at 6:30 OR Sat at 6:20 ``` Making the same in Homey I need 4 different flows. As Homey has wide range of programing possibilities, would it be possible to add such simple day and time WHEN condition? I belive it will be useful for number of similar flows. (Including periods of days as sunrise or sunset.) ---

You can use the [Advanced-Scheduler](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.fp.advanced-scheduler/Advanced-Scheduler/) app if you want to make schemes. Personally I prefer to have 4 flows: 1. homey is not impressed by large numbers of flows. 2. splitting up flows keeps rhem simple and much easier to debug. Personally I split up these flows even futher (see my post on “[how to structure your flows](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-structure-your-flows/25109)”) ---

For this case you can also use the build-in function “Alarms” (Homey Smartphone App → More → Alarms" with only one flow: ![IMG_0737](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6cf448c7338430fcc3b686961b3ba5e695114717.jpeg) _ **When…** _ – Alarm goes on (any!) _ **Then…** _ – Whatever If you need to use more alarms, e.g. for yourself, then you can add a name in the naming of the alarms, e.g. “Mon Parents”. Then the flow should look like this: _ **When…** _ – Alarm goes on (any!) _ **And…** _ – Name contains Parents (Logic-Card ) _ **Then…** _ – Whatever **Pro tip:** By using the [IcalCalender](https://homey.app/en-us/app/no.runely.calendar/IcalCalendar/) app, you can easily control that an alarm should not be activated, for example, if it is a free day or the children are on vacation. ---

There is actually an OR, and an ELSE. If you hold a card in the flow builder when you have multiple in the AND part, two or lines will apear. There is an explanation on this on the Homey site
