Hi guys! This question was discussed a lot of time here but I cannot get it work. What I want to do is simple. When light is on and area becomes inactive → start countdown to turn off the lights BUT reset the timer when movement was detected after the area became inactive within the timer time. I…

Excuse me, but I have the feeling by now that you don’t know what you’re doing or don’t know how these apps work. [image] Alex_S1: Here a more detailed situation showing how fast the timer ends. In this case the timer ended in 10 ms. The card is a random timer between 10 and 20 sec. But for al…

Then you might use the card “when zone becomes inactive” and use the delay in the card switching of the light.

Try replacing the nam “Test / 10s” by “Test_10s” to get rid of the dash slash. As this might be a special character. When you click on the “i” you get information how to use the card.

I use the app countdown. This works perfect and I use your setup. In the configuratian. you define a time (for instance lightstimer) In dutch the cards are named zandloper. Then the flows are IF THEN IF THEN <start zandloper ligthstimer 180> IF AND IF THEN IF THEN

[pint] I use a variable which i use in a different flow to kill or activate the lights

In this topic you’ll find several examples and variations [image] The Flow Exchange(r) - Exchange Your Flows with Others! Flows Zone Activity Controlled Light / Device To prevent the light (or other device) from turning off (or on), while there’s still motion d…

It doesnt work. Once it detected inactivity, the delay starts and turns off the light disregarding any motion happened during the delay time.

The “/” cannot be removed. It a part of the card.

I dont know how to get the Countdown app work. It doesnt matter what delay I set, it turns off the lights after few ms. Same happens in Chronograph app. As others work with it, like you, there must be a mistake on my side and I try to figure out what it could be. Do I add the timer, give it a name…

Thanks! When I leave one of the field empty it gives me an error and I cannot save the flow. I have to specify both. Best regards Alex

The problem is that you gave the timer 2 different names: Test and 10 s
Either use the drop-down menu and select an existing timer, or enter a name in the Name field:
