I use two Fibaro power plugs to measure if the phones of my partner and me are connected to the power outlet next to the bed. The purpose is obvious: setting the sleep state. Setting asleep is no problem, because I know what the power use is when the phone starts charging. When the phone is fully charged, its power use is intermittently 0 W and something slightly higher (say 0,2 W). These.values change every few seconds. I would like to set the awake status when the phone is taken off the charger. Is there a way to create a flow that sets the status to awake when the power use is 0 W for, for instance, 60 seconds? Any other great ideas are welcome as well, of course! ---

Few methods that cross my mind. One of them is by using the Countdown and Better Logic apps. Someone here created a very nice post of how to get a notification when the washing machine is done. This and with very minor modifications can help in your case.

Could’t get that to work as i wanted. i noticed that when you unlock your phone, it starts using energy again. so my flow goes: - IF energy has changed - AND the time is between 05:30 - 09:30 - AND energy is greater than 0.5 Watt - THEN turn off sleep mode ---

Interesting! I’m going to try that tonight! ---

Also interesting! Problem is that my partner works in different shifts, so I can’t really work with time in this one. ☹ I will post the solution that does the job for me in this topic later. Great ideas are still welcome of course! ---

I use IFTTT there is a option: if Phone is on/of power. Works like a charm. ---

@Hugo thanks for you suggestion, but being heavy phone users, our phones are being charged everywhere; at work, in the car, using power banks, so Homey would think we were sleeping all day. 😉 I have solved the problem though, thanks to the suggestion of @danone and the washing machine solution of @Rocodamelshekima. The intermittent changing of the phone’s used power when fully charged is happening a few times per minute. I do not mind a one minute delay when changing my status to ‘awake’, so I solved it this way: I have created a countdown timer for 60 seconds, that starts running every time the power use of the charger changes AND is 0 W. Every time the power use changes AND is higher than 0 W, the timer is stopped. This happens multiple times per minute from the moment the phone is fully charged. When the phone is disconnected, the used power will stay at 0 W, so the timer will keep counting down to 0. When the timer is at 0, my status is set to awake. I did use [The Countdown App](https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.bevlogenheid.countdown), created a timer _TimerDennis_ and _TimerPartner_ and created three flows per person: **Dennis Phone Power \<\> 0** **When** the power changed **And** Timer running _TimerDennis_ **And** Power is not exactly _0_ **Then** Stop countdown timer _TimerDennis_ **Dennis Phone Power = 0** **When** the power changed **And** Power is exactly _0_ **And** Timer not running _TimerDennis_ **Then** Start countdown timer _TimerDennis 60_ **Dennis gets up** **When** Timer reaches zero (0) _TimerDennis_ **Then** mark _Dennis_ awake And, of course, I created the same set of flows for my partner. I am not a programmer, so I probably could do things far more efficient, if so, I’m always happy to learn!
