Moving from Smartthings to Homey - and trying to get my head around the “flow” method. Got most working, but I have a question :  
Example :  
I have Fibaro Wall Plug indicating energy (watts). Is it possible to make Homey send me a push message when the energy level goes below 5 watts AND stays below for 5 minutes? This means I do NOT want a push message if it gets below 5 watts for 2 minutes, and the rises above 5 watts.

Thanks in advance,  
Martin
