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? ---

See [How to start a flow at a spesific time stored in variabel, with built in functions (Solution - Check every 60 minutes or use the app "Timey")](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-start-a-flow-at-a-spesific-time-stored-in-variabel-with-built-in-functions-solution-check-every-60-minutes/109853/1) and [CronJob App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/dev.schweiger.cron-job/CronJob/) But I think the answer is still no. ---

@Peter_Bittner You can use any user input in a flow. See this example with an Android phone: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/e/6e4eb239d8484fd805156de748bea2328776c1da.jpeg "Homey input via Tasker 2") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3KXp31MjKc) How I did this: > [@\[How To\] Setup two-way communication between Homey and Android smartphone](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-setup-two-way-communication-between-homey-and-android-smartphone/55510): > > 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.

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: > ![Screenshot_20240715-115710_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/b/0bfa55dbb7416d8a21b460e757a3729f95a76c07.jpeg)
