Hello my name is Kit,  
I have many advance flow that work 100% of the time  
but I don’t know how to do a simple temperature for turn of and on my AC.

I have 2 temperature sensor in the room just to double check if the sensor is not working  
could some one help me make this flow work.  
when Temperature becomes greater than 78F turn on AC  
when Temperature becomes Less than 75F turn off AC

the current flow that I have temp greater than 80F the AC still not come on  
and when temp less than 70F the AC still not turn off

Hello,  
without really trying to understand your flow I however see two potential problems:

1. a card in a flow runs ONCE. You have cards with 2 lines who stem from the same origin
2. ALL is NOT an AND command ! ALL succeeds if ALL its inputs are true at the SAME moment which never happens in this case

Hi Kit,

As @ricercar mentioned already, I guess you have to explain a bit more about the flow, because this…

> [@kithemmasiri](#):
>
> when Temperature becomes greater than 78F turn on AC

…is not what I find in the flow. There are lot (unknown) commands in-between.

However, I guess the main problem is the point 2, mentioned also by @ricercar.

And for a better debugging, one suggestion would be to change the first combined flow into two separate flows.

@ricercar @DirkG  
Thank you so much for your respond,

I make a new simple flow for easier to understand.  
my gold is to  
turn on ac when Temperature becomes greater than 72  
turn off ac when Temperature becomes less than 70

but this simple flow does not trigger when tempe becomes greater than 72  
and does not trigger when thempe becomess less than 70.

If you have seperate sensors you can try this.  
IF temperature changes  
AND temperature is greater then 72 (Logic card)  
THEN turn on the AC.

Connect a timeline card to the triggers, to find out if the trigger is the real issue.

Are you sure?  
The flow card _ **Temperature becomes greater than 72 °F** _ triggers just, if the temperature exceeds from \< 72 °F to \> 72 °F. So if the temperature is already \> 72 °F after creating/saving the flow, it will not turn on the device. And the device will only switch off when the temperature drops below 72 °F.  
Have you ever tested the flows?

Afaik, in the beginning when Fahrenheit was introduced there were some problems with the calculation or something else between Celsius and Fahrenheit.  
Therefore it’s important to use the actually Homey firmware and app version.  
You may also check whether the temperatures from the Sensibo sensor are correct shown in Homey.

Thank you so much for your reply.  
yes I did test the flow it work while I click test.  
I belive the problems is it did not trigger when the themp become greater than 72F.  
I did check on sensibo app and homey pro app to see if it both fahrenheit and celsius  
and I also keep an eye on the temperature on both app.  
I tested with a heater .  
room themps start at 72F then I turn the heater on so the room become 80f.  
in the sensibo themp said 80F in the homey app said 80f. still no trigger (doesn’t turn on)  
and same,  
the room start at 80F turn on Ac when the room themps become 69F  
in the sensibo themp said 69F in the homey app said 69f. still no trigger (doesn’t turn off)

Thank you so much for your help

I don’t know how to do or what does it mean  
Connect a timeline card to the triggers, to find out if the trigger is the real issue.

Thank you so much for your reply. and yes the logic card did the trick.  
but do you have another solution for cleaner flow? right now just need 2 more cards just to do a simple themp trigger.

Something like this.

Ah, you’d best contact the app developer by posting the issue in the Sensibo app topic:

To be sure what is happening, just make two test flows that write something meaningful to the time line including temperature. One triggering on “temp change” the other one on “when temp greater than”.

Moved Sensibo specifics to the app topic.
