When searching for the right flows, I find it hard to locate for example a power on flow and a power off flow for a device.

It would be much easier if I could code the different flows with color. So I easily can mark for example the on/off flow for a specific device with one color.

See below:

It’s easy to see flows that belong together. (Maybe not these intense colours, but you get the point)

Good idea! Not sure if that (ever) will be considered to implement.  
For now you might like to use emotions in front of the flow name.  
And it shows the colours in many places:

Works in “start a flow” selector as well

Works in code as well

Thank you, that’s actually a good idea and workaround!

My pleasure!  
So thanks, it was your fault 🤪😬 In other words, you triggered the idea, I’m gonna use it as well (I didn’t know I needed it) 🎉
