I have connected a Tibber power meter which monitors the total power consumption in my power meter, which goes into the fuse box.
I want to set up a flow that performs the following:
Step 1) If power consumption reaches 7100W Step 2) Wait for 5 minutes Step 2) If the power consumption is still above 7100W then perform nessecary actions(disable heating cables etc.) Step 3) Wait for 5 minutes Step 4) If the power consumption is below 7100W Step5) Wait for 5 minutes Step6) Power on floor heating cables etc.
How man flows do I need to create to perform this action?
Is there a way to store the output from the Tibber device to a variable so that I can use it throughout the rest of the flow? I`ve seen some examples where a Yes/No confirmation can be sent to a user to perform the rest of the flow, but I want it to run a bit more automatic.
So you could use the delay card between the trigger and the condition. The condition could look at the power tag for the device so no need to store the value in a variable.
The alternative is to use one of the timer apps for the delay.
When you click on the Value parameter you can find the Power tag for the Tibber device.
But the more I look at it (I’m playing with setting up the flow), it would be better to use a timer app such as CountDown (there are others but that is the one I’m familiar with).
