I want to switch of my solarPV during a period of the year and during a time slot. I am in de Homey cloud . Is a flow available for it ? ---

Welcome to this forum, C\_Braakman. Solar PV “solar photovoltaic” is quite general. Homey works with apps (see: [apps](https://homey.app/nl-nl/apps/homey-pro/)) for various device brands. For this reason, it is unlikely that you will be able to find a generic flow. ---

[This](https://community.homey.app/t/negative-prices-stop-or-reduce-solar-production/135520) is how I did it (not sure if it will work for cloud) ---

Homey Cloud is limited when you want to use tools like timers and such. But with the date / time cards you can achieve stuff as well. Which PV app do you use, and is your inverter capable to be turned off remotely? If true: Assuming your inverter is only online when it generates power, you can use the sunrise event as trigger, and turn the inverter on (or off outside season), after x minutes (to make sure it’s generating power): ![Screenshot_20250908_200041_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/6/c6bebcaaf87aea6d700939c15a72b9615ec4a98f.jpeg) Timeslot, to turn it off for the next x hours: ![Screenshot_20250908_201251_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/1/518212aeb75a73c137c5ad894331985e9428dd74.jpeg) Turn it back on after x hours, but not when outside season: ![Screenshot_20250908_201307_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4acac35f31faa2ad7d6bb6cca31a5bda4a9ba686.jpeg) ---

Thanks,I believe that I need the Homey pro instead of the Homey Cloud. Correct ? ---

YW. I don’t understand. Only if your inverter can’t be turned on/off by Homey Cloud.
