Hello! I am using a Philips Hue sensor. When it registers movement the flow will start a Sonos playlist, it works perfect! But when it registers movement shortly after the flow is activated, it starts the flow again, and the playlist. Is it possible to only play the playlist once every xx movement somehow? ---

Yes. I understand, but the Chronograph app is not working correctly, can’t add timers anywhere…. I have tried to configure the app - and in units also??? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/5/659596e05a01f9d6c935bba86ba5cc3b74f92f42.jpeg) ---

Like Rickert wrote. Just enter a unique timer name, and use it for the other related timer cards as well. Once the action card is fired, the timer gets created and becomes visible in the app configuration overview. ---
