FlowBits Tutorial Request

[Gabriel_Pedrosa_Mach]

Hello,

I recently installed the FlowBits app by Bas Milius, but I can’t find any documentation on how to use it. The app description says “Small bits of logic, big difference in your Flows,” but I’m unsure what features it provides and how to implement it in my Flows.

Has anyone used FlowBits? If so, could you share:

• What does this app do?

• Some practical examples of how to use it?

• Any tutorial or guide?

I’ve checked the GitHub repo and App Store with no luck, so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Best to contact the developer. There is a link to contact on the app store page for the app.

Hi, creator here

FlowBits was mainly created to add common behavior in my house, using different modes. Everything is defined in your flows and no devices have to be created for certain features.

Currently I have four different modes in my house and al my devices act on them. I have this example flow that gives an overview of what that can look like. One mode can be active at a given time.

The app also has Flags, which are like modes, but multiple can be activated at the same time. I use this for two different things: Cleaning and vacation.

Both features also have widgets for your dashboard.

There are also other features such as cycles, no-repeat windows and inter-flow signals, like this:

And there are also timers, which I think explain themselves.

Hope that explains enough!
