For now i have made a flow that if i open the door the light turns on, countdown stops, and if i close the door, the countdown runs and the light turns of. If i open the door before the light turns of the countdown starts over. So this works fine.
But how can i add something that the light stays on by closing the door if i had turn the light on before opening and closing the door? By the Homey app or toggle switch. Wallswitch is a Fibaro 223. Double switch 2x1500âŠ
I have a similar needs as you and with almost the same hardware. But my flow setup uses tags and segregation of flows but I hope this can give you the idea on how to do what you want -
Easy enough so far, when the garage is active turn everything on and start a timer for 10 minutes.
When the timer runs out - turn very thing off.
When I press the garage button - reset the timer which turns everything off to start counting down from 1 hour.
I also have a flow for when the switch is pressed twice - completely disable the timer. So the garage light doesnât automatically turn off. This is similar to what you want to do.
But just in case I forget to turn it off - at 2am turn it off for me.

Rather then disable the timer I have been meaning to instead disable the flow if I double tap, and then reenable each night at 2am when it does the sanity check.
This is possible ofc. Only disavantage is that ur timer will be running as long as ur inside. The timer in the OP will only run when motion is stopped so will run way less then urs.
Thank you. I got the logic now. It got it working.
I have my âEettafel lampâ turned on and off with countdown and a xiaomi motion sensor.
But i also have flows with the âEettafel lampâ and a switch. Is it possible to not use the motion sensor with countdown when the switch has turns on the âEettafel lampâ? Because when ur sitting at the dining table, the motion detector doesnt sees any motion. So the Eettafel lamp turns off after a while.
I also use this flow with a door sensor. The light works also with a TBK Home TZ Dual Relay Module. As long as the flow is running I need to push the toggle switch on and off, before the light turns off. Is there a possibilty to fix this ?
Running a timer with the timer app or a timer Homey is running itself?
When timer (of 60 seconds) ends or When zone is inactive for 60 seconds?
Donât think it makes much of a difference.
It can be a difference when u have zone activity in for example the kitchen and ur smart dishwasher is open.
Or just an open window in any zone.
I was wondering since you tried to minimize the running time of timers in one of your examples by starting a timer when âmovement stopsâ. But doesnât that mean that you have running two timers simultaneously: the âzone inactive timerâ and the (app) timer? So wouldnât it be more efficient to use âzone active/inactiveâ if (and only if) the zone has one sensor only? As would be the case in most instances in bathrooms and toilets?
