Hi,  
Sorry, I think this is is a simple flow question.  
I have a fibro dimmer connected to a light switch, when I toggle the switch a flow starts that switches all lights on or off, works fine.

I want to make it so that when I switch the lights off, one light flashes once (or dims down and up - to show other people in the house that it actually works, they don’t believe it without proof) and starts a flow “all lights max” for 10 minutes and then starts flow “all lights off” Handy for going to bed or leaving the house.  
I know this is not the most challenging of flows, I am getting better, but any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks,  
Edo

I don’t really understand what you want exactly, but my suggestion would be to create a sequence of flows, maybe with delays.

Flow 1  
If…  
Flow 1 is started (with Fibaro Dimmer)  
Then…  
Make whatever you want  
And start flow 2 (with x sec/min delay)

Flow 2  
If…  
This flow is started  
Then…  
Make whatever you want  
And start flow 3 (with x sec/min delay)

Flow 3  
If…  
This flow is started  
.  
.  
.  
.  
And so on.
