Hello, I would like to create an advanced flow that sets my status to “awake” when the power of the mobile charger reaches 0. What I can’t figure out is how to make Homey wait until it reaches the desired power level and then perform the action. What should I do to make Homey function as “wait until…”?

Thank you

“WHEN mobile charger level changes AND mobile charger level equals 0 THEN set awake”

Regarding the charger issue, I’ve got that sorted out, but now I’m dealing with the clothes dryer. How can I make it send me a notification (just once) only when the power drops below 8 watts? Currently, it keeps sending me notifications even when it goes below 8 watts…

Also, is there a way to make the notifications interactive? Like, can I perform an action directly from the notification itself?

You can add the action card “Disable flow [Flow\_Name]”, to disable the flow after a notification was sent.  
Also add the action card “Enable flow [Flow\_Name]” with 2 hour delay (the time of a dry cycle)

An other way is to create a Y/N variable X  
When..  
-dryer power changed  
And..  
-dryer power is below 8  
-logic Variable X is NO  
Then..  
-send notification  
-set logic variable X to YES  
-set logic variable X to NO with 2 hour delay

You can use [Telegram Notifications app](https://homey.app/a/com.spkes.telegramNotifications), to send a pre-defined question to a Telegram user (or group) when a dryer notification was received;  
You can use pre-defined answers to choose from, or let the user enter a valid value or word(s), which can trigger (parts of) a flow:

> [@The Flow Exchange(r) - Exchange Your Flows with Others!](https://community.homey.app/t/the-flow-exchange-r-exchange-your-flows-with-others/68981/49):
>
> Start flow actions using a user entered value, by a reply to a predefined question on Telegram The Telegram app by @spkesDE has the functions to start a flow(part) by replying to a question with picking from predefined answers, but, also, by entering a value. That value can be used to set a target temperature f.i. Built-in conditions: flow should not respond to any message with coincidental valid values the entered value should be within a defined value range the user should be informed …

The flow is importable
