Hi, I have some issues with a SONOFF device that is turn it self on or of (most time on) directly after is has been turned off by a flow endcard. Is it possible to create a flow like: If: afzuiger WC (SONOFF ZIGBEE DEVICE) is turn on by SONOFF zigbee. Then turn off. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/7/67e1e182c0c6f39135f1b15923bf8e4edbbaec7b.jpeg) ---

Yes, look at Device Capability, is has a trigger (when) or beter for you, an Action (Then) card to retrieve the last user who pressed on/off. > **[Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/)** > > Verbeter de capabilities van apparaten ---

Here an example how to use it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/2/c267dfd8006cbd565a9a6fd909e4391421fdbd22.png) You just need the Card “Retrieve the value of [device] for [capability] for 0 minutes ago”. For you that would mean, Retrieve the value of [afzuiger WC] for [onoff] for 0 minutes ago. The Retrieve card also has a token with the value, which you can check for true or false in this case. But i guess reading your question again, i think you would just need the Turned on trigger and the Retrieve card. ---

So, actually you would need this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/4/a48a4654c9ddf8d309d72b89bb14cae6b93b8e42.png) (Check if you need the token Client or User, but it should be Client for Apps) ---

Maybe send a push with user and client, and please let me know if it indeed is client or user 😉 ---
