I strugle with the following flow.
I made a flow that if the motion sensor in out living room reaches 700lummen homey ask if he can turn on the lights.
But… Homey keeps asking the same question over and over again, cant seem to find the solution.
I want Homey to stop asking, when i said its oke.
So what if you are not home?
Homey will keep crying for attention for 3 hours…
I use virtual devices to control my flows. (Betterlogic variabels can do the same)
1 create a virtual device that represents the status “ask for light “ On/Off
2 add that device “On” in your AND column and remove the hue lamp and the timeslot.
3 also add that device to the THEN column and switch it off
4 now you can create flows to control you virtual device:
Switch it on at 17:00, switch it off at 20:00. Switch it off when no you people present in the house. Etc.
The advantage is that you can now also easily change the times: weekday on at 17:00, weekends on at 16:00 just add a different flow to set the virtual device…
Hi Patrick,
Here the visual examples. Not exactly the flow you want to build. But I hope it gets you going
1st you need the virtual devices App.
I created several devices type “button” that I use to store timed trigger. (Marked blue”opstaan”)
And a device type “switch” for “keuken” status
“since the away and home detection from Homey suck”
If you have a regular life you can replace presence by a virtual device that is set based on times you leave.
I personally use a trigger that my alarm sends out. If the alarm is on I am not downstrairs (out / in bed)
Hi Patrick! Sorry, what app do you mean or do you mean to go in on the Hue application? I cannot find any luminance conditions under And or Then and under When only “The luminance changed”. Maybe I go about this totally wrong or one should have a different app?
