Hey Homeys, I’m from Spain and I’ve decided to give Homey a shot because it seems like an “easy” system to manage. I also have Home Assistant, which is the most powerful, but I think it’s turning into an overwhelming system in terms of everything it includes, when most of the time we only need the basics “just something that works”. So, I’ve moved some devices over to Homey. A few of them don’t work, especially some Tuya Zigbee devices and a Linptech presence sensor, etc. The doubt I have now is that yesterday I programmed this flow, and this morning it didn’t run (today is Saturday). I’m attaching a screenshot, sorry, it’s in Spanish. I think the problem might be that the “day of the week” card doesn’t actually shift the wake-up time 30 minutes later; I’m not sure if that’s correct. I was thinking of creating a separate flow for Saturdays and Sundays, but before doing that I wanted to check with the community. Any idea? ![Captura de pantalla 2025-08-09 a las 8.27.09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/0/008df1e8c83dd0c9e546ab643a15994aaa485f86.png) ---

Your problem is with the “ALL” card. be aware: a “ALL” card wil only check conditions within the same trigger! It is not “Waiting” for a next trigger. So in your case the input of the “ALL” will be checked based on every single 10min trigger. The 30min delay will just result in the check being done 30 min later, but with the same input. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/5/95b652f22c3c791489a5922e9b8b4e5dfe344133.png) You have connections to the “ALL” from both “true” and “false” On the “lenes y viernes” card. So that will never happen. (Both “true” is impossimble ---

@FKey very thx!, for your Help. Okay, I get the mistake! If I change it to ANY , would that be correct, or is it better to add other cards for the “ELSE”? ---

Changing it to ANY does not make sense In summer it will always run every 10min because of the “Verano” check In winter it will always run every 10 minutes during the week (between lu es y viernes”) immediately in the weekend with a 30 min delay…. ---

Also this part will never run ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/7/272fe9b23541de0f6464abbde41e86d14cd7347a.png) It will never be between 09:30 and 10:00 AND between 14:30 and 15:00 in the same trigger. A flow will completely run on every trigger. So in your case every 10 minutes. In this case between 09:30 and 10:00 it will flow until it hits the 14:30 card and end there. After 10:00 and before 09:30 it will stop at the 1st check. ---

What is your exact goal? It is something about closing blinds in summer …😉. But I cannot figure out what ---

Thanks for your explanation But keep in mind I’m coming from HA, haha. I have a few questions: I want that once the sun comes up and 10 minutes after it has risen, the blinds go up to a certain percentage, but only the three I specified. Then every day at 9:30 AM raise the blind I set to that percentage, and at 2:30 PM raise it to another percentage. If it’s not the weekend, raise them 30 minutes later, except the 9:30 AM one. Not sure if I explained myself. ---

> [@NeosS](#): > > I want that once the sun comes up So this should clearly be your trigger (WHEN) card. This is a delay card. BUT when you download the [sun events](https://homey.app/es-es/app/com.cyclone-software.sunevents/Sun-Events/) app it will give you loads of options to trigger relatee to the sun (so you do not need the delay) ---

Is correct, my WHEN is: ![Captura de pantalla 2025-08-09 a las 9.21.46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/0/b0ece67b5eb1cbabe52c43c2d16c5c30a2617f11.png) ---

yes (did not know the basic app also had that) ---

> [@FKey](#): > > Just make this a seperate trigger (WHEN). You can still have it in the same advanced flow, but it will trigger as a seperate flow. Well, that was my question—whether it was better to make separate triggers. ---

> [@NeosS](#): > > f it’s not the weekend, raise them 30 minutes later, except the 9:30 AM one. Not sure if I explained myself. You can do this in 2 ways: Have a delay of 30min in the weekend OR. Create a seperate trigger “sun is up for 40min” both will work. I persanlly prefer the second, splitting it up makes flows more rreadable and easier to teouvleshoot (and less errorprone) ---

thx Drawing on your wisdom, I’m not sure if it’s possible and relatively easy—there’s a window that gets the sun and it’s a problem. Could it be done using the sun’s elevation? I’ve installed an app that tracks it by elevation, azimuth, etc., but I haven’t managed to get it right. ---

> [@NeosS](#): > > whether it was better to make separate triggers. Thats very personal, both will work. As states above: I always cut up flows as small al possible. For me that way they are easier to read and mainly troubleshoot. ---

> [@NeosS](#): > > Could it be done using the sun’s elevation? That should be possible. WHEN the sun is at a certain elevation THEN close that blind. Should not be too hard. You can also add a lux sensor to your auto automation, so it only closes when the sun is bright…
