So, I know why this doesn’t work (because it only runs once, and if that’s not at the right time it won’t do anything). But how can I make this work? [image]

OK, I think (Hope) this is “THE ONE!” [image]

To discover what it does(n’t) do, I suggest to add notification or log cards to all possible points in your flows. Like the red cards in this example flow: [Screenshot from 2025-01-27 13-12-23] (and add the flow name in these kind of cards :wink: )

Today the sun rises at 5:51 in Rome. That is before 6:00. So the flow stops here.

Hi @Luigi_Colancecco , the flow will work perfectly on most homes. As soon as the sun rises if it is a workday and after 6:00h then set variable to 1 (else, if sun rises before 6 am do nothing) if it is workend and after 8:00h then set variable to 2 (else, if sun rises before 8 am do nothing) …

So I got it to work like I want it to (I’m pretty sure lol) But how can I simplify this? FYI you can disregard the MODES: variable, as that’s just what I use to turn on/off pretty much everything in my house @DirkH I will try this [image]

I’m basically creating an AOI, or “Add On Instruction” I want to create a set “routine” that changes a variable that I could place anywhere, in any flow, which executes a number of cards so I don’t have to keep recreating the same group of cards over and over again, just like you would do with the …

Ah, a puzzle! It can be simplified indeed; “Twin” triggers and conditions can be “undoubled” like this [1000048921] Next to the “true” output (blue), the weekday cards have a “not true” output (orange), which eliminates the use for the weekend conditions: [image8l99] The second (from top to …

By the 2nd optie. Parallel to the “Time is 06:00” cart to bring back the “Time is 08:00”. (also to the top #MODES cart) Because otherwise the “Weekend” get no time start. 1st block is time the trigger and is sunrise 2nd factor. 2nd block is sunrise the trigger and is time 2nd factor.

[image] Luigi_Colancecco: I will try this That is really OK. It is straight forward and it is easy to avoid mistakes. Only in case you have to change something later you have to do it 4 times. But using the Sunrise/Sunset variable and trigger other flows by this variable is a good solution. …

So, thank you for everyone’s input! This is what I came up with after reading all of your posts, and I think it should work just fine! I just realized this still won’t work :face_with_diagonal_mouth: All I want, is: A. The Sunrise/Sunset bit to flip to 1 when the sun rises, and 2 conditions need …
