Hi,
I have a number of light switches/dimmers in my house, from Shelly, EcoDim and RobbShop.
I’m trying to figure out if you can tell, in a flow, if a switch/dimmer was activated by pressing the button, or by Homey.
Basically, when a ‘Turned On’ event is triggered, can I tell how it was triggered?
I know I could do it with a lot of variables, but is there an easier/built-in way?
Cheers,
CJ
You can, by using the Device Capabilities app, but you’ll have to create this flow part for each device you want to monitor:
But are you aware of the mobile app’s device log (longpress a device to view it), this is automatically done by Homey. This also shows flow names when a device is commanded by a flow:
Hi, thanks for the reply! I’ll look into the Device Capabilities app.
Yeah, I know the log shows it, but I want to use that information in my flow.
So, for example if a light is activated by a motion detector, or by pressing the button on the wall, different things should happen. (I know I could probably fix this in the flow that’s triggered by the motion detector, but my flows are set up differently - kinda hard to explain).
YW!
Ah okay, yes then my example flow can come in handy
or create and ad in your flow a variable, triggered, yes or no, these you can also use in the insights. so many roads to Rome…
