A complex flow (set of flows) is failing and I want to debug it. How can I do that? This is the setup: When vibration alarm starts: set variable mailbox.open to Yes (after 10 seconds) When vibration alarm stops: set variable mailbox.open to No (immediately) When motion sensor alarm starts: set ha…

[image] prosumer: It would be great if I could see the history of variables (at what time they change to which value), but that’s not possible, or is it? (How?) If you created the variable in homey logic. They are traced in the homey insights

Standard Logic variables are traced just the same through insights. But just numerical ones, both for Better Logic and default logic. So 0/1 will be visible, false/true will not. Fun fact, the old insights will smooth graph curves and/or take averages, If I look at the graphs, it seems at times I ha…

[image] Edwin_D: Fun fact, the old insights will smooth graph curves and/or take averages, What do you mean by old? Does it mean insights in the new homey web view shows different data then the old insights app . Did not notice that yet

The data is the same, but the graph library seems different, and you can combine graphs.

[image] FKey: if you motion alarm stays active for 30sec too Unfortunately that one seems to have a random cancellation time; sometimes only 10 seconds. (Hence the variable that I only “reset” after a minute) I’m afraid I’m not sure I understand your improvement suggestions (yet?); not sure…

[image] prosumer: I’m afraid I’m not sure I understand your improvement suggestions (yet?); Do you know the card to start a flow? In When section: [image] . In Then section: [image]

Yes I know that card. I’m a bit confused because you gave several suggestions (thanks for that!) and I don’t know which of my flows need to be combined with your suggestions (if any).

Since its unclear after how much time motionsensor cancels keep these flows When vibration alarm starts THEN after 10 sec start flow 5 X . When vibration alarm stops. You can remove this flow When motion sensor alarm starts: set hall.movement to Yes (immediately) When motion sensor alarm stops: s…

Thanks! I already added “Simple Log” cards to every THEN section in my original flows to (first) figure out what I’m doing wrong. Once done I can try your simpler (so less error prone?) flow setup. (to be continued?)

Maybe use a door/window sensor on your mailbox in stead of a vibration sensor? That sensor will not be triggered bij opening the door…

I know…

But I have the current sensors already available, so want to see whether they are sufficient to make it work (and have some fun tinkering/learning).
