Is it possible to get user input of a time and have that time be used as a When trigger in a flow?
Maybe with Homey Script?

@Peter_Bittner You can use any user input in a flow. See this example with an Android phone:
How I did this:
Quite often I like to use my Android smartphone to directly start a Homey flow, operate a Homey device or to put data into Homey flows without using the Homey app. If you would like to do the same, then this tutorial is for you.
What will be addressed in this tutorial:
Install Tasker on your Android smartphone
Install Join on your Android smartphone
Find device ID and generate Join API key
Create Join URL
Configure Tasker and Join to react to a received message
Setup the webhook in a Homey fl…
This should do the trick, Peter
Start flow actions using a user entered value, by a reply to a predefined question on Telegram
The Telegram app by @spkesDE has the functions to start a flow(part) by replying to a question with picking from predefined answers, but, also, by entering a value.
That value can be used to set a target temperature f.i.
Built-in conditions:
flow should not respond to any message with coincidental valid values
the entered value should be within a defined value range
the user should be informed …
Thanks for the info, I’ll let you know how I go.
Peter, thats weird, in the email version of your reply I get a discussion and example flow based around advanced triggers, yet when I visit the topic I get a discussion about using Telegram to ask what time to start as input. I’m assuming I would need to use both aspects for the solution?
I almost never use email for this forum.
So, it seems to cripple stuff somewhere along the way, when we link to another topic.
I’d say, just hit the link in the forum post above here:
