Hi.  
I am new to Homey. I am in the process of porting from smartthings hub. As I am a newbie, it is challenging to recreate all the functionality in homey. As a starter I am trying to recreate a scene/routine/flow the children find amusing using Homey.  
I have a sensative sensor which provides the temperature in Celsius periodically. I have a Philips hue bulb which I want to represent the current temperature, obtained from the sensative strip, in colours. In other words, cold weather should produce cold colours whereas warmer weather should produce warmer colours. I have this implemented in Smarthings, but I don’t have enough insight into Homey Flows to do the same. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You could make a flow, WHEN temperature changed, AND Logic (use the upper tag temperature) temperature is greater then 0-15 Logic tag temperature is less than 15, THEN Philips hue scene blue.

Thank you for your advice, but as I haven’t got any experience with flows, how do I add upper(?) Tag or tags in homey in general. Are there any tutorials on this

> 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…
