> How to setup a flow when you want two events to be true (at NOT the exact same time)

Events happen (in a split second), and never become true… within what time dow tou think that should work two events before an ALL operator, 1 second? 1 minute? one month?

Always use one (1) Trigger with a CONDITION (And.. Card)other state of the other,

Trigger: “Zone 0 became free”  
AND “motion Alarm IS OFF”  
THEN …

Trigger: “Motion Turned Off”  
AND “Zone 0 IS Free”  
THEN …

or combine them:

Trigger: “Zone 0 became free”  
Trigger: “Motion Turned Off”  
=\> ANY  
AND “motion Alarm IS OFF”  
AND “Zone 0 IS Free”  
THEN …
