De kaartjes met nummer zaten in de oude versies. Die waren al een tijdje deprececated, die zijn nu ook daadwerkelijk verwijderd

Not sure why this does not work…at all…any suggestions?

i don’t know how the luminance cart works with this flow, but some other flow carts from other devices triggers once when they become less than xx lux.

maybe this happens here to. When you start the flow from the second cart (room or zone…) does the flow work then? if so, then you need to look to the first flow card. if not you can look to the second cart.

you can also try to take the second cart out of the flow and start it manually. than you know if the first flow cart is working

1st - The trigger works like a thermostat. If the lux value hasn’t been above 15 first, it’ll never trigger  
2nd - in case the lux card _does_ trigger the flow, the room has to be occupied in order to turn the lights on. That chance will be very low.  
3rd - this flow will work only once, or a few times, a day…

But when I guess what you want to achieve, you’d turn it around  
When…  
-BU FP2 zone Bathroom is occupied  
And…  
-logic card [BU FP2 lux value tag] is less than 15  
Then…  
-turn on Bathroom Upstairs light  
And then  
-dim Bathroom Upstairs light to 50%  
And then  
-turn color of Bathroom Upstairs light to orange

You’d daisy chain the “then” cards, in this particular order  
(For certain lights, the “turn on” card is not needed when you set a dim value, it turns on just because of that)

For the “And” part, there’s often no flow card(s) available. The Logic cards are to be used in that case.

> How to use tags in a flow on 2.0.x There are a lot of questions about using the tags in the 2.0.x firmware of Homey. So here i give you a simple explanation of using tags in 2.0.x. We start with the WHEN part When making a flow you select a device in the WHEN part of the flow. In this example i used a Fibaro plug. When selecting the device you get the option to choose “The power changed” f.e. When clicked you will see the tag(s) coming with this card. We gonna use that tag later, no need in…

I tried reversing it at first by making the motion as when but it wouldn’t allow me to set lux as an “and” only as a when

You’re not the first looking for ‘AND’ cards and not finding what you need.  
When you get the hang of Logic cards, it’s pretty straightforward.

I get it’s confusing, because it’s not a rule: there are _some_ AND cards available, for _some_ apps, or even for _some_ app’s devices as you’ve discovered;  
This is because developers may add them to their apps, but they often don’t need to.

I normally only use Logic cards for AND conditional cards.

Hi Luigi,

Should be there.  
Did you try with the YesNo logic?  
All my sensors show up with, like, Motion Yes or No.  
Presence Yes or No should also be in the list:

To set it to " _Equal to ‘no’_ ", invert the card:

OK I think I got this figured out, this seem to work, thank you…just had to play around with each logic until I figured it out!

Got a little fancy with it lol, just testing things out
