Hey everyone, I’m diving into the world of advanced flow automation in Homey Pro 2023, and I wanted to share my experiences and ask for some advice. So, I’ve been working on a flow that automatically shuts down certain devices—like panel heaters and floor heating—when the total power consumption exceeds 10,000W. It’s a multi-phase system designed to handle different scenarios based on priority and impact. For example, in phase two, the water heater kicks in to maintain energy levels over time. I’m using a lot of true/false variables here, and they’re being passed through to trigger the different phases.
Here’s where I’m hitting a snag: when I test the flow manually, each phase works perfectly, and the variables are set correctly. But when I activate the flow and trigger it, the logic doesn’t seem to pick up the variables. However, when I actually run the flow in active mode, it works like a charm. It’s like the test environment isn’t recognizing the variables the same way.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of testing versus production setup? Any insights or tips would be super helpful. I’m really curious to understand why the test environment behaves differently and how to ensure consistency across both modes. Looking forward to hearing from you all!
