Hi there, I currently have flow that opens my bedroom blinds at a set time every morning. However, sometimes I need to get up at an earlier time. I’m looking to create a virtual button on my dashboard to override the default opening to different time, for example before I go to bed I can press wake at 6am button, or another button to wake at 5am and so on. This would override the default flow for just once time. Any suggestions?
Start the open blind flow with logic card variable has changed. Have other flows that alter the variable at the appropriate time.
create a variable “time open blinds”. Here you store the standard time or desired time using a virtual button.
Cteate a flow that is executed every hour for example. Check with a logic card if the time is equal to the variable. if so, open the blinds. You can then also reset the standard time in this flow if you want.
(On the dashboard you can also show the time blinds will open.)
You can use the alarm function. This simply works like an alarm clock. You can easily activate or deactivate the alarm clock, set it to run only on certain days or simply change the time.
It’s also possible to create two alarms e.g. “6am” and “5am” and switch them just on or off.
You can find it in the smartphone app here: More → Alarms
These flow cards are available:

Thank You, I hadn’t even considered the use of alarms. I’ll create dashboard buttons for 6am, 7am etc to set non-repeating alarm, which will trigger the flow to open the blinds. And then set a condition to my default flow to only run when no alarm is enable.
