Home/Away functionality should be enabled first;
After that you can use ā€˜presence’ flow trigger cards which start flows based on your location.

Sleep/Awake awareness should be created by yourself: a (virtual) button, a sleeping mat, when you always charge your phone when going to bed (it can send an event), a voice command etc.
When that’s in place, you can use ā€˜presence’ flow action cards to mark your or household members as sleeping/awake.
Then you can use flow cards like ā€œif everyone is asleepā€ ā€œif no one is asleepā€ etc to start flows

I am a little bit confused about the sleep, awake function. Because if you say that i should make flows with sleep and awake. Why is there a flow card ā€œwhenā€ Claus is awake?

It’s ā€œWhenā€ Claus woke up.

You could do various stuff, something like:
When..
-Claus woke up
And..
-Karen is asleep
Then..
-Send push noti to Claus with message ā€œdon’t forget to wake Karen upā€
Else..
-Start coffee machine
-Turn on ā€˜morning scene’
