# Flow Director Part of: [H.O.O.P. (Hope) - Homey Object Oriented Programming](https://community.homey.app/t/h-o-o-p-hope-homey-object-oriented-programming/43709) # Summary This device offers flow cards to manage statements within condition parts of a flow. Inner IF statements are supported. These flow cards only function when a flow is triggered through H.O.O.P. (doesn’t need to be a H.O.O.P. trigger, Await will also do the trick). # Flow cards ## Conditions - **IF (all cards until Then are) Operator = AndAlso && or And &** Starts an IF statement within the condition part of a flow. Operator for the cards between IF and Then-Cards can inversed between AndAlso and And. - **OrElse / Or** Used to separate conditions groups between IF-Cards and Then-Cards - **Then** If the cards between If-Card and Then-Card are equal to the value given in the If-Card (true or false), then executes the next cards until the Else-Card or End If-Card - **Else** Does it need an explanation? - **Else If** Opens a new IF statement (that needs a Then-Card) if the previous IF statement failed. - **End IF** Closes the IF statement # Examples ### Example: Dim the light on to 30% of its dark, dim it to 90% when its lighter, and don’t turn it on when its fully light outside. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/5/f599783f56fd05f230708013e814fd0aa8686ddd.png) ### Example: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/b/2be63162ce8681e54f2fe4daba4292fd5a1e405d.png) ### Example: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/3/d392c7d0a11daed1897a19ce8cad5aa5a872430a.png) ### Example: Inner IF statements ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/b/ebbd506d096968652dae34d1a78dfe00fecd676d.png) ---

Wauw! Looks nice! I’ll give it a try. Looks like a more logical approach! ---

Thanks! And, yeah, its way easier to do a few if-then-elseif statements in one flow, then having to make a lott of flows and use delays to first start a action and 1 sec later the next. It makes the flows function synchronised, which is many times a good thing (since you can’t give or handler promises in floweditor 🙂 )
