Did not discover your tuturial until now (someone responded to it making it come up) Nice to see how you structured you flows almost exactly the way I do. See my post about [how to structure flows](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-structure-your-flows/25109/3) > [@Marvin\_Schenkel](#): > > I divide my flows into two categories: events (ev) and actions (ac) I do this too, but use some more categories (and different tags) > [@Marvin\_Schenkel](#): > > I use scenes to set my lights to a specific ‘mood’ that’s appropriate for that time \<…\> We will be using ‘Virtual switches’ to define our scenes Also defining scenes and using virtual devices too 🙂 > [@Marvin\_Schenkel](#): > > (Optional) [The simple log app](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.nielsdeklerk.log/Simple-LOG/) by Niels de Klerk to log which flows are executed. This is optional, but I like this app because it gives me an overview of everything that is happening in my apartment and makes it easy to debug any issues I come across And check on that too (using papertrails for it…) > [@Marvin\_Schenkel](#): > > Memory function for the brightness of our lights Did not use this yet, but I do like the idea and flow --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-advanced-automatic-light-control-with-flows/21877)._
