I’m quite new at making flows, and I managed to cobble together a handy flow:

 ![flowissue](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/8/98b6be779ae220ddaa7f1e572cb602b14b762727.png)

The problem that I however have is that I now get a notification every 15min or so (or however often the temperature changes).

Is there a way to limit this notification to once every 60min or so? The overall goal is just for me to know when to open or close the window (manually). I have already managed to stop notifications at night so that is something, but now I get a lot of “spam” during the day.

Use an extra card:

to switch this Flow OFF.  
Make a second flow, that switches the first flow ON again if the temperatures are the opposite.

Thanks for helping out, i set it up like this now, is that what you mean? I expanded upon it a bit to give me information whether it’s warmer or colder outside, but I’m not sure if the referral logic works and one flow never turns off now of course 😑

Good start, but this way the “outside warmer than bedroom” will keep repeating…

So add to the 1st flow another card to _enable_ the “outside warmer than inside” flow

And to the second flow a _disable_ “outside warmer the insode”

And your “spec was” just every 60min.  
This will only give you one notice.

You can also consider to start a 60min timer after disabling. This timer should enable the flow again.  
Giving you warning only when temp is changing after a 60minutes silence

Thanks, I think I will use the 60min timer as that seems easier to do in terms of logic.

I also made a flown notifying me of dryness in plants and that broke the psuh notifications limit so I think I will implement that timer for all my flows hah

A few examples of the given solutions, if needed:

1. A flow which disables itself, and then enables itself after x minutes:

1. A flow with a “wait for x minutes” option, using the Chronograph app:
