Hi can any one help with my flow

hello all can anyone help please i have created a flow so when i arive home it sets of a chane till i open my door and then it will make a anoncment here is a pic below it works when i test it bud does not work in real life can any one help and sorry for spelling im dyslexic

While testing this flow the ‘animation’ slows the flow down. In real live the flow runs through in a split second.
You could add a 1 second waiting card in each yellow line.

Or

WHEN
Richard came home
THEN
start a timer (30 seconds?)

WHEN
the contactalarm turned on.
AND
timer is running
THEN
notify Richard

BTW you might want to blur your phonenumber

thank you

Why would you test the contact so many times?

Maybe you want:

WHEN contacts goes ON

AND Richard is home

THEN turn on the radio

its set up so its not a certen time you need to get there it just keeps on going thew them till the door is open

You could also set a boolean after the “came home” card to true. And reset it after 5 minutes (or any timespan you’d like).

Then you can specify one trigger on the sensor and verify the bool value. If true → rest of the flow and set bool value to false (to prevent it from running multiple times in the same timespan).

So basically two seperate flows (in the advanced flow):

  • Richard came home → set boolean to true → delay x minutes → set boolean to false
  • Sensor goes on → AND boolean = true → turn on radio → set boolean to false.

ok thank you ill give that a go

That’s not a silly question. It’s called a yes/no variable in Homey. I’m a programmer that’s why i called it a boolean :nerd_face:

Screenshot is Dutch, but i think you will understand :+1:

hi all all sorted thank you :blush: :folded_hands:
