Hi,

I’m trying to set up a flow to turn off lights forgotten on during day after a couple of minutes.

The problem is that once my flow starts:

When  
Lights on  
Then  
Power off after 120 seconds  
Notify me

Notification push me even if lights it has already turned off

How can I stop notifications when not needed?

Thanks for your help

Split it up in two flows…

At to the Then:  
Start flow “notify me”

Flow “notify me”

When  
This flow is started  
Then

> [@Franco\_C](#):
>
> Notify me

This goes in you’re own flow after THEN

Start a flow “check light” after 120 seconds

When this flow is started “check light”  
And  
The light is on  
Then  
Send a notification

So if the light is on after 120 second you get a notification.
