The app works perfect with volume aswell, here are my “sleep” and “awake” flows: ![17](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/f1d26dbd08429bd7390f4d790a56bcbd88b59527.png) ![38](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/b0ded4940f2e4d1f07b9e8d880912277c3b11feb.png) ![06](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/d0e9f0ca77dd38215fc7b9fd2da773d0c8e08e3b.png) ![45](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/3ebcb4b650faeb10bdae69870e5093db5011c953.png) ---

This is great! Now, could you set an alarm as well the night before, which then triggers the ‘wake up flow’ the next morning? Say, I want to wake up on Mondays at 7 AM, but on Tuesdays on 8AM. Could I set an alarm of sorts on Sunday and Monday night? ---

Not sure what you mean @Pim_de_Vente, with homey you can set different alarms. And use the “alarm” card as a trigger. Why do you need a alarm for the evening before? Reason why i use the “flow has started” for my wake up flow, is because i have 2 ways to trigger that flow, 1 is the alarm, and the other is pressing a z-wave button twice next to my bed, for when it’s weekend and i don’t use a alarm 🙂 ---

Well, I use my phone to set an alarm for the next day. But sometimes I like to wake up a bit earlier or later. So I’d like Homey to trigger the wake up routine based on my preferences the night before. While I thought this was pretty complicated, Apple just released Siri Shortcuts, so I might be able to program a combined Siri-Homey flow with the new app. ---

Or you could just use the alarm from Homey? And trigger a flow based on that alarm. If you find a solution with the Shortcuts app let us know 🙂 ---

Probably not directly applicable to iOS, but in Android I use the app Sleep as Android as alarm. This app has webhook integration with IFTTT. I use this to let IFTTT trigger flows in Homey. ---

Thanks for your work @robertklep Sharing my Sonos Fade-in / Fade-out flows, based on the transitions app. 1.Trigger flow: ![03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/c/cf93724b7b003ebb8a8348fb876f771ee7c0fa40.jpeg) - Flow being triggered and based on the volume level will trigger either the fade-in or fade-out flow 2.Fade in flow: ![32](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/c/c7ae188556a80897c47effaed523ae0b6a960872.png) - Start fade-in transition, with input: `0-0.1, 30s, 3s`; volume level from 0 to 10% (`0-0.1`), in 30 seconds, 3 seconds per step 3.Fade out flow: ![55](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/a/a8129eb055525a13d40c523e16ba1dd822bf9664.png) - create a Better Logic variable (`Sonos-Fade-out`) to determine the transition duration based on the actual volume level (tag). I used 200x the volume level. ie. a volume level of 15% will use a transition duration of 30s. - Start a transition with input `'# Set volume' tag - 0, 'Sonos-Fade-out's, 1s`; start level the actual volume level of the Sonos speaker, and duration defined by the BL variable `Sonos-Fade-out`. 4.Actual updating of the Sonos volume level ![15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/3/3d83f9bdb066543218f4373303517c3b80405253.jpeg) - Drag the `# Value` tag of the “Transition changed” trigger card over the slider of the “Set volume” action card 5.Stop playing once the transition is completed and volume level = 0 ![30](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/3/32d8f05809af7e6634b931e940a0bb9ac88fa647.jpeg) Flows 1-3 can also be combined into 1 flow, taking away the separate flow triggers. But in this case, I also trigger the same flow 2 and 3 from other flows (e.g. my wake-up flow triggered by the coffee machine)… ---

Hello, thanks for this great app. Is it possible to change colors (like a lightning console) with this app? or can i use only numbers for the start and stop value? all the best ---

Numbers only, I’m afraid. Not sure if you wouldn’t be able to transition a “hue” value for a light, though (mainly because I don’t have lights that can change color). ---

oooh okay then could you help me again or @TedTolboom ? please. i switched today to FW 2.0 and it works perfect, i only need to -reconfigure some flows again. and, for example one flow wouldn’t use the transition tag, means i can’t add the tag to the “then part” of the flow and the device within. thanks! ---

i will use the dim function for the hue-lights. i create 2 flows (works without problems with homey FW 1.5…) and the 2nd flow is the problem, i can’t assign the given tag from the “changed transition” to the device. i see only global tags for the device (i try grouped devices and single devices). ---

hi another tested this for me and have the same problem like me. he can’t use the local tags for insight the flow. it would be very interessting how @TedTolboom made it working. ---
