Still the same answer, why add 2 cards that **won’t do anything whatsoever** in Homey. With addition, then it should be added to all sensor devices, not just Shelly, and for a lot of devices it isn’t even possible at all. You should probably stop waving that disability card constantly, as it won’t do anything at all if you just ignore all the questions that were asked, or all the explanations that are being given. People will probably stop helping if you continue that. ---

You keep saying that the value (temperature/humidity) should be captured, but you have never said what it should be done for or what the goal is. And because Homey already knows these values and these values can be used for further actions, nobody understands why you want to capture these values. Without further information It makes absolutely no sense. ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > Capture for **later**? > Later = 1 minute or 1 hour or 1 day or 1 week? > This can be done with logic variables. _ **Dear fantross** _, I explained myself badly, I meant that I would write the Advanced Flows a few days after I finished writing all the more basic Flows. I hope my _Googlenglish_ was clearer now… 😃🤞 > [@DirkG](#): > > Again, what **exactly** do you want to achieve with the captured value? > > You keep saying that the value (temperature/humidity) should be captured, but you have never said what it should be done for or what the goal is. > And because Homey already knows these values and these values can be used for further actions, nobody understands why you want to capture these values. Without further information It makes absolutely no sense. Thanks to the advice, and example, from @Henrik_Johnsson I think I managed to get what I wanted. Now I’m taking a few days to study all the different advice you’ve given me. My goal is to replicate and implement Scenes written today in the **Shelly App** _(Mac, iPhone and iPad)_; here is an example: ![Shelly - Scena](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/4/f4e17348e7ab26ab2dc51505d462339909ba7267.jpeg) _ **Thanks** _ to you and to all the friends – _very patient_ – of this forum, _ **Thanks again!** _ ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > What does the scene mean? > > When… > — Time is 06:00 > Then… > — Switch light on (Sala Robur) _ **Dear fantross** _, _first of all thank you for your happiness related to my little success yet to be verified!_ In the Scelly App, “ **Scene** ” means the set of rules that create an automation; it’s like a Flow. Your Flow Tip: When… – Time is 06:00 Then… – Turn on [02.03 - Sala Robur] If possible I would change it like this: When… – Time is 06:00 – Time is 06:05 – Time is 06:10 Then… – Turn on [02.03 - Sala Robur] It may happen that the Internet or the Cloud do not respond immediately, three attempts increase the chances… I realized, looking at the screenshot, that I have to correct the 2nd and 3rd timetable… 🤦‍♂️ But this Flow is simple! The difficult part comes with these other two “ **Scenes** ”: – Turns on if: ![Scelly - Schena #2 On](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4a94f97f384431ca99d226a897bb5c1fa2c8c96c.jpeg) – Turn off if: ![Scelly - Schena #2 Off](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/8/98f66de553d43f4f11c0b45ac166ce7ad66f84e8.jpeg) In these two cases the temperature values of the “ **Shelly H&T** ” intervene. This is why – _for example_ – I am interested in detecting the values of Humidity and Temperature. Thanks to Homey Pro I would also like to be able to define the activation or deactivation – _via voice command_ – of 3 Flow, for example: - I feel cold (20º) - I feel so cold (21º) - I feel very cold (22º) _But before running you have to learn to walk…_ _ **Right?** _ 😉👍 I hope I explained myself well with my _Googlenglish_… _ **Many thanks, a warm greeting!** _ 😃👍 ---

This is very simple flow in homey: **Turn on:** Trigger: temperature H&T changed And: temperature H&T \< 20 (use logic card) And: time between 8:00 and 20:59 Then: Turn on switch SALA Robur ![Schermafbeelding 2023-07-18 om 17.51.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/2/c23891aba23a2d35f8c361ea558a2b051a34644e.png) Same setup for turn off ---

Connect each time card with the „light on“ card. That’s it. With normal Flows you have to create 3 Flows. Better way: When… — Time is 06:00 — Time is 06:05 — Time is 06:10 And… — Light is turned off Then… — Turn light on But as @Henrik_Johnsson already mentioned, 3 time cards are not necessary if you have a good wifi connection. ---

_ **Dear** _, I write you a collective answer. – @Torch1969 Thanks for the example, it’s very clear what I have to do… Thank you again! – @Henrik_Johnsson and @DirkG I get internet through a Wi-Fi antenna, the signal is good and fairly constant; it happens that there are brief signal interruptions, that’s why I had adopted a certain prudence by inserting 3 times. The antenna (Ethernet cable) arrives directly at the first node of the Mesh network which gives me excellent coverage with 3 Mesh bases. Homey Pro, if I understand correctly, should work a lot locally and rely on the Cloud just when it can’t do without it. My Shelly products are not Matter, I don’t know if this can affect it or not. – @DirkG Thanks for the example, it’s simple and very understandable!
