I use several variables in flows to set a certain status of ‘something’ and be able to check on this in other flows. Fi. a variable like “On vacation” which is default set to “No” (unfortunately) which is set to “Yes” when I go on vacation (set manually or by another flow).
Whenever the Homey device itself reboots (fi. because of a firmware update or even a temporary power outage), to what status do the variables return? Is this then set to the default status or to the ‘last known’ status?
