The most important but also the most complex script is responsible for the automation of my shutters. The script contains the following features: Open shutters in the morning - x minutes after sunrise including random time between +/- 5-15 minutes open to 25 % (privacy protection), but not before e.g. 07:30 in the morning - then open to 100 % at random time between 15-30 minutes - open on weekends, holidays and public holidays at a fixed time, e.g. 8:30 a.m. (currently realized with the use of Google Calendar) Roller shutters close in the evening - x minutes after sunset including random time between +/- 5-15 minutes close to 25% (privacy) - then close to 0 % and 9 % (different windows/doors) at random time between 15-30 minutes - if the patio door is still open, this roller shutter must not close until the door has been closed. sun protection - in a definable time window (e.g. between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.) and with an outside temperature of x °C and solar radiation of x lux, the roller shutters in the living room should close to 5%. - if the temperature falls below x °C and x Lux (check every 15 minutes), the roller shutters should open again, but no later than 17:00 p.m. - possibility to manually deactivate the automatic sun protection (the shutters should not open suddenly during a cinema afternoon) info - the random times for opening and closing the roller shutters simulate a presence by manual opening/closing. It would be perfect if the privacy screen (currently open/closed to 25 %) could also be randomly varied with values, e.g. between 20-28 %. - weekends, holidays and public holidays are defined by a variable, which is set by a Lua script and the Google Calendar Api query. The Google Calendar script checks at 00:05 a.m. for an all-day event. If so, then the variable is set. The roller shutter script determines at 00:15 a.m. the daily current values for sunrise and sunset, as well as the Google calendar variable. And no, I didn’t write this script by myself, I just made some adjustments and added the Google Calendar request. On the basis of various posts, tutorials, apps which I have read and informed myself about, I think that the “roller shutter script” could be realized at least theoretically almost. But just theoretically, I can’t try anything for myself yet. ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > The most important but also the most complex script is responsible for the automation of my shutters. > The script contains the following features: > Open shutters in the morning At a quick glance, I cant see anything there which cant be done using flows. But also keep in mind if there is also a scripting language which can be used ([HomeyScript](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.athom.homeyscript)) if the flows start getting ‘crazy’ Though honestly, its super super rare to see HomeyScript even mentioned on these forums as the flows are actually very powerful. All your sunset/sunrise is built into Homey, but if you need even more advance uses you can check out the [sun events app](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.cyclone-software.sunevents) Weekends etc are all also built into Homey and if you want to use public holidays you can download this app here : [Public holidays App for Homey | Homey](https://apps.athom.com/app/no.almli.publicholidays) Hope this answers your questions. ---

Thank you very much for your answer @Jamie. Most of my questions were answered. At least now I’m pretty sure that my shutter flow can be realized in such a way that I’ll be satisfied with the result. I haven’t created a single flow yet because I don’t own a homey yet. But what I have read so far and what works well with Fibaro is the use of variables in such complex scenarios. Would you agree with me? [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/move-from-hc2-to-homey-z-wave/20361.md?page=1)
