Now it’s time to see the actual cost of a washingmachine cycle
In the above examples i used the “This flow is started” trigger. There is an issue with this atm. This flow will actually fire dispite the fact it is disabled! So for the meanwhile i created a virtual swith for this. Go add a device, pick Homey for the brand and pick “Virtual Switch” as device.
In my example i called it “WashingmachineVirtual”.
Make an extra variable
For the cost of the cycle we need to know what the cost is of 1 KwH so we need to set that. Make an extra variable and make it a number variable. In my case i called it “KwHtarief”.
Now we need to make 2 extra flows
First flow is to set the normal tariff (daytime). Find the cost of a KwH with your supplier.
2nd is for the low tariff (nighttime)
Now it’s time to adjust the flows we made in the first post.
This is what your first flow should look like:
And this is what your 3rd flow should look like:
We also need to adjust the 2 flows from the 2nd post.
