I’m honestly at my wit’s end here. My 9-year-old wants a “Flow.” When saying “Alexa, start party,” a Flow should trigger that—effectively—starts a playlist but also (and this is the key part) cycles the ceiling light through various colors. It’s an IKEA bulb. Since controlling Spotify on Alexa via H…

Maybe good if you check the example in the first post of the Loops app topic: [APP][Pro] Loops . In order for it to work: You need to initiate the loop. That part you have done in your second screenshot. Then you need to create separate flows for what needs to happen when the loop starts and itera…

OK, I tried it again @SunBeech Frist I created a flow called “change color” - in German “Farbe wechseln” - and this one looks like this [Bildschirmfoto 2026-10-03 um 16.51.34] This one is responsible for changing the color! Secondly I created a flow called “Start Party” and this one looks like …

That’s only part of the set of flows. You need to recreate the example included in the post I linked: [image] The set contains 4 flows: 1: That one you have: it is in your second screenshot 2: That one you also have: it is in your first screenshot. Y…

OK, now I’m totally lost. Your screenshot shows “4 streams”, fine. And you saved this as a flow, or? Is the name of this flow “loop1” @SunBeech ? Because I have currently two flows: One is called “change color”, the other one “party”. Maybe that’s the reason why I’m lost!

I found a video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30QnhoVkvrw&t=10s but this one is also confusing. He’s using a flow called “Blinking Light Flow” but when you look at his cards he’s using “Flashing Lights” [Bildschirmfoto 2026-10-03 um 18.00.49]

Yeah it might be a little confusing. The example shows 1 canvas that includes 4 streams. I was referring to those streams as flows. But let’s stick to stream. I suggest you do the same, so all the parts are on one canvas for an easier overview. The first stream (1) is the only one that has the s…

It makes sense @SunBeech I did two flows. One is for the start and the iterations called “Party on” and looks like this! [Bildschirmfoto 2026-10-03 um 18.24.57] But I also need a flow to turn off the flashing light, or? So I created a flow called “Party Off” and this one looks like this! [Bild…

The first flow (canvas) looks ok. I think the WHEN card in your second flow stops the flashing after the first iteration. That’s not what you want. The flashing stops automatically when the loop has done all its iterations (999 in your example). Then the WHEN ‘The loop x finished’-flowcard trigge…
