Flows seem to operate once only (thereafter only when you press play)

Hello everybody,

I recently had a heat pump installed and have the thermostat (Honeywell Home T-Series Thermostat) etc connected to the Homey Pro.

One of the radiators has fans underneath it which were previously operated on a heat sensor, but that no longer works so well because the water temperature is much lower, so I connected the fans to a smart plug and created the following flows:

When: thermostat mode has changed to ON / Then: Turn smart plug on

and

When: thermostat mode has changed to OFF / Then: Turn smart plug off (after 20 minutes)

The flow seems to work once each - to turn on and off - after you press play, but otherwise doesn’t do its job. I tried using a different When trigger (namely when the heat pump draws more than 200W power and when it stops doing so) which had the same result.

Has anybody else experienced similar problems? Grateful for any thoughts.

Upload a screenshot of your flow, to make it easier for us to help you. :slight_smile:

Sure. Thank you!

Does the mode change or is it something you set once? Sounds like a mode you set once.
Is there any other when card that tells when the thermostate is heating or not.

If there is no other card that tells when the thermostate is open or closed (probably not) you need to meassure the power or temperature.
What device did you use for meassuring the power?
Did you check insights for the device to understand how it changes?

Have you tried without the delay?

Maybe the card keeps running for the 20 minutes and then executes the command which causes an issue.
