Hey! I created a flow which says that when bathroom is active, a song is playing and a push notification is sent to my phone. However, the flow is triggered each time i move around in the bathroom and the motion sensor detects motion (which is not unormal :P). But when this happens, the flow starts again and the song repeats and starts over. So everytime i move, the songs starts from the beginning and a new push notification is sent. Is there any way to get around this?

Make the flow so that it starts only one time a day or an hour, you can do that with adding timers and variable’s for example.

You can add a timer with ad duration of like 30 minutes.  
Then you add an AND card: “timer is not running”.  
This way you trigger the song just once in 30 minutes
