Hello, I am trying to reproduce some custom “Routines” from my SmartThings in my Homey and need some guidance. (Routines are defined as “IF … THEN …”) I have among other routines defined on Figaro Plugs to switch them OFF when the plugged device “does not seem to be running anymore”. Example, for…

Indeed, the following When… flow card from the Device Capabilities app is in the meantime the easiest way to check a state or a parameter from a device over a certain time: [image] Afaik, this flow card didn’t existed when I wrote this post. But the flow should actually work, I don’t see any logic…

I’m not sure I have fully understood the query, but I have a flow using a presence sensor where I only want a light to turn off where no presence is detected for more than 10 seconds. It relies on the countdown timer app. [image] CountDown Use CountDown timers to control your flows …

The problem with ‘delay’ is that it doesn’t recognise a continued absence. It only recognises absence and then responds to it 10 seconds later. In my flow then this would be “for a split second there was no presence detected, and so the light will be turned off in 10 seconds time” rather than “ther…

That device capabilities app looks very useful! Thanks for sharing

I use Chronograph for stuff like this. It works well. [image] Chronograph Adds precise timer, stopwatch and transition functionality to Homey. Andy

[image] DirkG: So if you want to create a new timer name, first you have type in the name. After saving the flow, the name of the timer can be chosen by the picker field and the timer name in the name field can be deleted. A little update: The ‘name’ field is not needed any longer, while it’…

Many thx all for your help and input. About my comment “the plug won’t turn off automatically if the PC is not booting”… I wanted to say that the event “consumption becomes lower than 10W” will occur if and only if, at some point, the “consumption went above 10W”. If one turns on the plug, but the …

I came to this solution, tested with a lamp connected to the Fibaro plug with such a cable [image] [image] It works like a charm (Well, as long as the flow is not broken in the middle with the plug on but no consumption - i.e.: lower than 1W). THX A LOT again for pointing and these Advanced Cap…

I’m pleased that you found a manual solution. [image] vletroye: Concretly, the routine encoded on SmartThings is as simple as IF “plug is on” for “5 minutes” and “plug’s wattmeter <= 10W” for “5 minutes” THEN “switch plug off” I think I have understood your use case now and you don’t need no…
