Fairly new in Homey Flows as I’m still running Smartthings but boy they’re behind.  
I need a flow based on the Tibber app (Electricity supplier) that turns on a device during the 4 cheapest hours of the day. I can get it to start ON the cheapest hours and then run for 4 hours but that’s not ideal.  
If tried to get it to start 2 hrs before the lowest price and run 2 hours after which might hit better  
but before doesn’t seem to be an option.

Any suggestions would be great!

TIA!

Hello @Thyg0d ,  
even in the tibber App there is the _When…_ card  
_Current price is one of today’s lowest (hours) prices_. I guess that is what you were looking for.  
never the les I would recommend **Power by the Hour** ([PbtH](https://homey.app/en-de/app/com.gruijter.powerhour/)). There is it of effort for configuration, but it is much more flexile, for example when you need the water to be hot or the electric vehicle to be charged by 6 am.
