Did you add a delay to each of these cards, so that Homey executes them (more or less) in series, instead of parallel?
This is needed, because you are creating dependencies between the cards, but Homey executes them all at once. Most likely the prior card has not yet completed, while you try to already use its result in the next card.
Adding a minimum delay of 1 sec usually solves this. Alternatively use Advanced Flows where you can connect cards in series.
Heh, I never knew this, I always thought the cards were executed in the listed sequence. Now I really need to look at all my flows, I am pretty sure I have flows where the card sequence is important. Thanks for the clarification.
That’s why I had the delay in my example.
If you use Advanced Flow then the order can be defined by connecting the cards in sequence.
When you have the Better Logic app installed, or when you don’t mind installing it, you can use this flow card.
(you can use tags/variables in the first value field)

Peter: Hmm, I don’t have a Format flow card, below is all I have. Do I need to install/update something?
I think that specific card is only available in Advanced Flows, not in Standard Flows.
Indeed, I forgot to mention that detail.
Because that particular card passes it’s result to a tag, it can’t be used with standard flows.
Standard flows can only pass tags from trigger cards.
