Please direct me if there is a similar question with an answer.

Is it possible with a tile that I can adjust a start and stop time in an advanced flow?  
That this tile with 2 wheels (0-24 hours for example) is linked to a start time and a stop time for a process inside an advanced flow.

Afaik there is no Time selection in a (virtual) Device,  
but Homey Pro has Alarms, why not use them?

Thank you for the tip!

Is it only possible to start/stop a flow or can the alarm start different parts inside an advanced flow?

I am using the time and date function quite often. But sometimes Id like to change the time I have set inside the flow from my phone and not open the PC. Thats why I hoped there could be a solution, but I will try to experiment with the alarm function.

You can only trigger a flow with alarms, not stop.  
Above are two mini flows on one canvas. I only change a variable to false in the second, you have to test in your loop to stop it.
