Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to Homey Pro and have already set up quite a few flows. Everything works as expected, which is great. However, I’ve run into a situation where I’m not sure what the best approach is. When I leave the house (for example, to walk the dog) and return later, certain flows are triggered and devices are set to predefined values. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but I would like to make it a bit smarter. What I’m looking for is a way to “remember” or store the current state of my devices when I leave the house, and restore them when I come back — kind of like a snapshot or preset of the situation _as I left it_. **Example:** - A flow turns on the lights at 50% when I arrive home. - During the evening, I manually dim the lights to 34%. - I leave the house briefly. - When I return, the flow turns the lights back to 50%, instead of the 34% they were set to before I left. Is there a way in Homey to: - Save the current state of devices (lights, TV, etc.) when leaving? - Restore those exact states when returning home? Maybe using Logic variables, Advanced Flows, zones, or a specific app? I’m curious how others handle this and what the recommended solution would be. Thanks in advance for your help! ---

> [@Richard\_de\_Wit](#): > > A flow turns on the lights at 50% when I arrive home. You could save the percentage in a variable. However, when you return home, how does the flow decides to use the 50% or the saved percentage? In other words, when this flow always uses the saved percentage, which event will set the reset the percentage to 50%? ---

You could remember a zone state and use it later. > **[Zone Memory | Homey](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.sdn.zone-memory/Zone-Memory/)** > > Save and restore settings of devices or whole zones ---

Set a timer… let Homey save the current setting, but ‘erase’ it if the timer ends and noboby came home. So, save settings for 10-15 minutes, if you come back before timer ends, use saved settings … if you’r not back afer 15 minutes, reset to default… ---

You can store lights (and nothing else) states with the built-in “Moods” as well. There’s also a new app in progress, [~~Boolean Toolbox~~ Smart (Components) Toolkit](https://community.homey.app/t/app-boolean-toolbox-create-advanced-logic-with-simple-formulas/143906/), which can capture and restore states quite flexible, and imho it’s much easier to save a state or scene compared to Zone Memory.
