I want to automate my heating system so that it turns on/off or selects heating temperatures from the weather outside. So I created a variable for winter or summermode (yes/no variable), and I want this to say yes to wintermode if the temperature is below 15 for 7 consecutive days. The same thing again in the spring. When the temperature is above 14,9 for 7 consecutive days it should turn into summermode. So I have created this one flow as shown below. Each line works as I want it to, but I’m wondering if this works as one flow or if it should be split up into several flows?
Hi Oyvind,
This should work fine.
Advanced flow is in fact a “canvas”, on which you can create multiple flows, or one flow with multiple triggers etc.
Here’s an interesting post about Aflow:
Athom uses confusing names/conventions: These 4 lines can be seen as 4 flows on one canvas. When one of the 4 events happens, the corresponding line/flow will start. So they will work every 4. However, if you disable the flow, all 4 events and lines will be disabled. So if you want to be able to disable the lines individually, every line shall be on its own canvas.
As already mentioned, they will work fine.
If you leave them on one canvas you can even simplify it:
Is your temperature measurement that accurate that you want to have differentt flows on 14.9 and 15?
Otherwise you can simplify even more:
