How do people handle states in homey flows? A simple example: If power of my dishwasher is below 5 it is “stopped” and above 50 it is “started”. The way I tend to handle these now are by setting a boolean variable and then listening to that variable. Then I have a listener for that variable and w…

The new firmware 6.1.0 should eliminate the need for most, if not all of this with the new “capability became greater then/less than” clauses. They trigger only on the change from higher to lower or vice versa without the need of introducing booleans to see the toggle. Also, for more complex cases …

Sure this was maybe too simplified. The reason for the other flows is that there often is more than one criteria like “it is also day”, or “the sun is shining” , you still want to update the state but not do the action and similar things… But I am looking more for a way to eliminate flow 1/3 and the…

Ok. But u wanna know if the dishwasher is ready AND the sun is shining? That will indeed make it a bit more complicating.

A few more concrete examples I currently have: TV Power dictates “tv is on” and then depending on if time and sunny I lower the blind and other times I control the lights. Co2 level dictates “good air” if computer is on and daytime: flash the light red if bad and green if good (either case send no…
