Random timer for flow execution

hi guys,

I’m looking for a way to get random timers working in my flows. I would like to close my blinds and turn my lights on at random times between a given value (like between 5 minutes and 75 minutes completely random)

eg: if I use the ‘time’ card and set it to 23:30, can I use a random time range in the ‘lights on’ card in Hue by clicking the stopwatch symbol and typing in a range in minutes like 5-75?

I tried the countdown app but not sure how to use it…

Thanks!

searching this forum for “random” gives the next result:

Yes i found that already but that is not an easy way to do it / not noob friendly? is there an easier way to do this / some more in depth tutorial with flow examples? Thanks

for closing blinds and lights, I’m using the Lux value of a multisensor.
also the Time card “Sundown” changes per day.

Correct!!

That’s awesome :slight_smile: Thanks Roco! Quick follow-up question: If I have 2 lights underneath eachother in the “then” column and give them the same range (eg 5-75), do they use the same random number of minutes or can they switch on at different times?

Thanks!

Both at different random times

What app ihas the ‘time card’ you refer to?
