I am wondering why this flow doesn’t run. Meaning; when the lx change, it wont update the variable. I know that H.O.O.P is pretty advanced but as far as i believe, the flow is correct, right?

what i want to do is to determine if the light in the hallway is needed or not, and how bright it has to be.

what might be wrong?

Guess best to ask this in the support threat here: H.O.O.P. (Hope) - Examples  
there the developer and other H.o.o.P. users wil be notified and probably faster respond then creating a new thread.

Indeed. There are 2 HOOP topics. This is the discussion topic [H.O.O.P. (Hope) - Homey Object Oriented Programming](https://community.homey.app/t/h-o-o-p-hope-homey-object-oriented-programming/43709)
