Hi folks  
I have built a custom timer for dimming my nightlamp since the built in Chronograph transition doesn’t seem to work with my Eglo light bulbs.

However, I seem to be hitting an error “missing token value” when testing my flow. I am testing my flow because my flow doesn’t work. 😅

Does anyone know what the error means (and how I avoid it)?

Also, if anyone can see any other errors in my flow, feel free to comment 😊

Doh, just realised that “Start value” is not available in the flow that starts when the timer is finished.

Fixed it by storing the value in a global variable.
