Hi all! I’m new to Homey, but love trying things out untill it works. Find it interesting to try understand the logic of homey. The way I need to think to get flows working. But really could use your help… In my kitchen i have a Sensor (aqara P1) and 2 :bulb:(yeelight). Now I want the lights to tu…

[image] Marley_New2this: but its with 3 flows… With standard flow (not advanced flow) you should not think about ‘too much flows’. It is what it is, while multiple triggers are impossible. i’ve seen figures like 900 flows on a Homey So you have at least one ‘On’ flow and one ‘Off’ flow for s…

[image] Peter_Kawa: Execute “Every time” is obvious for a sensor, but for other purposes it can be set to “Only once”. Well, not abvious i guess Peter :wink: Trigger Every time means it will keep triggering continueantly each 2 minutes, as long as the motion_alarm is false. And there is no …

Thank you for expaining! This mornigs (set lux to 1000 to try out if lights go off) the lights went on, but after about 10 minutes they’ve gone off. Few seconds later it went on again (i was still in the kitchen, didn’t leave). So something is still not working as it should / as i want it to work. …

Please share you flows share function? And, are you sure you don’t have double flows still active or anything like that? And did you check the insights/log-tab for the sensor? You sure a cat didn’t activate it for instance?

Flow 1 https://homey.app/f/WDgPhx Flow 2 https://homey.app/f/GKmPhx Flow 3 https://homey.app/f/XPtPhx (How do i share it here as a picture instead of weblink to the flow?) No pets or kids at home. But still, light goes off after approximately 10 minutes. Im busy, so not standing still. No ot…

Well, about Flow3: I would remove the And part. Because that should never be true. I understandthe feeling of “backup” in it, but because you cancel the timer when the Sensor is ON, that And part of the flow should never be true. However, i indeed don’t see anything wrong with these flows. Could …

That is strage :thinking::face_with_raised_eyebrow: [Screenshot_20230525_095609_Homey] [Screenshot_20230525_095600_Homey] Ive deleted the and part in flow 3, thank you. Must say: ive been in the kitchen for 45 minutes now, and the light stayed on all the time. Could this have anything to do wi…

[image] Marley_New2this: Ive deleted the and part in flow 3, thank you. The thing is: Lets say the sensor turned to Off, timer start running and the timer goes to Done. If you would have moved within the 30 seconds and the LUX was to high, the timer is not cancelled. So the Timer-Finished …

Okay, thank you! Extra question, cause im still trying different things. My lights in hallway up and below ive got different flows. Because i usually walk trough the hall and not stay in there for a longer period of time (most of the time). Flow 1 hall downstairs: https://homey.app/f/S_OZhx Flow…

[image] Marley_New2this: Sensor on/off It depends on the sensor and the settings of the sensor (Blind time and Cancellation delay). The blind time must be smaller than the cancellation delay. These two parameter work like a build in timer if they are well configured. But not every motion sens…
