Hi Everyone, I want to create a flow which will describe the procedure of opening and closing my motorized window shade. I have 10 motorized windows and I do not want to create 10 similar flows for every window. Plus I’m planning to make some adjustments to my “procedure”. I would like to do the change in one place and not everywhere. At the end I want to say something like this: please apply window closing “procedure” on device abc and xyz. Is it possible to do that in homey? ---

Well, if you use the apps Advanced Triggers and Device Capabilities. Than you have dynamic ways of setting devices. ---

With Device Capabilities, you can set any property of a device, by name if i remember correctly. Well, with Advanced Triggers, you can create subroutines and pass device names. ---

As far as I can see I have to choose a specific device with Device Capabilities card. I can’t use wildcards or anything like that. ---

Possibly use the \< group \> app and create flows for the groups? ---

Hello gulgez I control all my flows via the Advanced Triggers app and it works flawlessly. I have written various basic flows which I can then call up (analogous to events). Example of my logger flow: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/b/ab4da8a4677b3da29c2b1f287a569bf918e4162e.png)
