Looking for an easy solution for an advanced flow to trigger a flow or continue a flow only when a trigger (eg a light sensor) has been triggered x times within a certain timeframe?
Any ideas besides creating a flow with a countdown for each device?
Made me think, why⌠Are you trying to workaround a sensor with too many false positives?
I canât think of something else as âfixâ.
Isnât DC suitable workaround for this ?

I think so, yeah. Forgot about this feature of the great âswiss army knifeâ app

Not really, because I can only do âfor 2 minutesâ, but not âalarm_motion equal 1 - 2 times within 1 minuteâ. And when I query boolean values, I can only do âIs Equalâ to a text value. Or I have overlooked something.
Ah I see.
Youâre right, it is not suitable to count x events from a boolean value
This is a way to accomplish it; Youâll need a counter and a timer;
In this xmpl, the motion alarm should have triggered 5 times within 5 minutes, and then the flow continues:

Yep, thanks for your effort ⌠that was also my insight, but I thought thereâs some more elegant/short way or an app to do it.
YW. I think this usecase is not used very often (or Iâm totally wrong here). Most of the time the first trigger is what counts, isnât it 
Does anyone know if the DC timer resumes if Homey e.g. would restart within the given period?
The dev could tell.
I havenât tested it yet.
@Arie_J_Godschalk does the timer of the card below, survive a Homey reboot?
Like, when you use âfor 30 minutesâ, and Homey reboots 5 minutes later?
