Hi, I’m doing some coding in Homeyscript and I’m running in to an issue I hope someone can help me with. The situation is pretty straightforward, I have [Ralf van Dooren’s EvoHome app](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.bevlogenheid.evohome/Honeywell-Evohome/) installed and it works perfectly. I use flows to either set the target temp for a few hours, or to cancel what I set up, so the normal program kicks back in. I want to do the same in Homeyscript, but I’ve noticed the capabilities that the flow-cards offer are not al straight-forward capabilities for Homeyscript. Basically, controlling the device is just setting a capability: `Homey.devices.getDevice({id: 123-ABC}).setCapabilityValue('target_temperature', 20);` which works as it should. The only issue is it sets the new temperature indefinitely. As I have a program running on the EvoHome itself, I want Homey to set the new temperature for a few hours, and then back to normal programming. This is possible in the flows: ![Screenshot 2021-11-16 at 16.59.27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/0/402e7c0515d46b1f44284ede4a40034a6862d53a.png) (setting temp for 2 hours, and also simply cancelling the setting al together) but I only have the `'target_temperature'` capability in HomeyScript. Is there something I’m missing in the capabilities, or am I just out-of-luck? Obviously this is possible, as the flow-cards can do it, I just can’t seem to find how. ---

In Homeyscript there is an example example-flowcard-run.js that is able to run a flow card. That should be able to run the evohome card? ---

Thanks, that would be a good alternative. I was hoping to run everything in one script though, it’s cleaner 🙂 ---

Afaik all you need is in that script, there is no need to have a flow. As I understand it the script just inputs the parameters to the EvoHome app in the same way that it would normally handle a flow card. ---

Oh, I didn’t notice that at all! I though the ‘run flowcard’ script did just that, simply call an (existing/regularly made in the Homey interface) flow-card from Homeyscript. This changes things, I’ll have to look in to how to send the correct arguments. thanks! ---

Just in case others run into the samen problem, what @Edwin_D said works! the run\_flowcard method can be used: the easy way is to go to [your own API playground](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground), and run `Homey.flow.getFlows();`. Find your flow, and take the needed info from there. For the current EvoHome version, the code is as follows: (just change the device\_id 123456 to your device of course) To set a continuous temperature: ```auto await Homey.flow.runFlowCardAction({ uri: 'homey:device:123456', id: 'target_temperature_set', args: { 'target_temperature': 20, } }); ``` To set a temperature for a few hours: ```auto await Homey.flow.runFlowCardAction({ uri: 'homey:device:123456', id: 'set_temperature_temporary', args: { 'temp_manual': 19, 'temp_hours': 2, } }); ``` And to cancel your setting and return to the normal program: ```auto await Homey.flow.runFlowCardAction({ uri: 'homey:device:123456', id: 'reset_temperature', }); ``` Hope this helps somebody. ---

It’s always nice when someone posts back information on their success for others to benefit, thank you.
