What is the purpose off this flow? If one of the 5 devices on the left is turned on and the temperature is above 15 all 5 devices are turned off?

Hi, the purpose of the flow is to make sure that if the temp is below 15 and one of the heaters turns on it will get switch off again. I am a newbee so it might be a bether way to do this :-).

</div>

That is what this flow will do.

But its all based on the temerature of one single location (prbably outside?)

Or are all heater in the same room close to the temperature meaurement…

oke, so you will get 1 notification, every time one of the lights has been turned on and the temp is above 15.If all are off, and you turn on one light, do you get 1 notification or more?

start one of the triggers all the way on the right (mill Kontor f.i.), by pressing right mouse and then, test from here, or when you hover over it, press the play button
