LED ring and electricity price

[Jari_Peuhkurinen]

I’ve been trying to create simple way to let family know when electricity price is low-normal-high by creating a flow that would light up the led ring in different colors according to price that is active in certain hour.

There seems to be no way to make the led ring “burn” certain color for more than a few seconds?

Any other ideas how to make this work?

You can try to fire the led flow card in a loop.
Like every 9 seconds (or the max time the led ring stays lit).
App: Loops

Have to ask how you use these loop cards in a flow?

Hi Jari,

Howto should be in the app topic:

[HOWTO] Find app support topics or support links

(NL versie vind je hier ) Dear Homey and forum user, Try to ask your question, or post your message, into related topics please: There’s a system with dedicated forum topics for most apps. This way, you will be able to get support the quickest way, and to get directly in touch with fellow app users and the developer(s). If not, there are often alternative support links present, like email or github issue tracker. How to: 1.Goto the app store → https://homey.app 2.Search for the app 3.Hit/c…

An other possibility is using the “Advanced Triggers” app.

And another possibility is using the Transition function of the “Chronograph app”;
Example:

Create a loop for geluidsbord

[IMG_1742] This flow starts a transition after the stopwatch ends Every time the transition reaches a step a beep sounds on my homey 2019. (7 times, 1 time per second) with the 8 step the transition restarts itself (Infinitely until i press a button that stops the transition)

Here is an example of a flow I use to light up the ring led according to my wishes

Took me a while, but I managed to create a flow where Homey led ring animates in loops different colors according to current electricity price.
