I tried making a timed counter in the following way, using delay. It works but stops after it called the flow five times. Is there a different way to do something like this (I want to keep track of the time a device is on)

If you want to know how long a device has been on: use the Retrieve Insights flowcard from the Device Capabilities App.
Else, use a Stopwatch from the Chronograph app.
I think itâs about Homey cloud looking at the categories
Starting the same flow every 5s is probably resulting in âflow disabled due to too many starts in x sec.â
For Homey cloud youâll need to âspread itâ over two or three (or more) flows, and the last flow then starts the first again to start the loop again.
When using multiple flows, every flow gets started only once every 10, 15 or 20s. and with enough time in between the flows should not be disabled again.
For you to figure out what the shortest âallowedâ interval is.
Chronograph and Device capabilities apps are only available for Homey Pro
Sorry, i didnât see that is was for Homey Cloud.
HI All,
Question, im a fairly new user of homey! I have to say great device.
regarding this topic, I canât get it running.
For a basement that is flooding im using a water sensor to measure the height of the water that triggers the hue plug to get the pump going. once the water is below the sensors level it will run for another 15 min to be sure.
kind regards,
Kees
At midnight start a stopwatch. If the pump is off pause the stopwatch.
When the pump is turned on resume the stopwatch.
When the pump is turned off pause the stopwatch.
One minute before midnight read out the stopwatch, post it on the timeline, wait 1 second, stop the stopwatch.
(Let my âplafond 1â be your pump.)
Great, thanks Wim!
Iâll let you know when itâs working here
happy holidays! cheers
Behind âthe pump is startedâ behind you must use the card âstart or resumeâ. Then the stopwatch is resumed. Now the stopwatch is restarted and starts at zero.
You named the stopwatch âPompâ. But you read out the stopwatch âUptime pompâ.
You are pausing the stopwatch when the pomp is turned on. Should be when turned off
