I recently got my new Homey and I’m really impressed with how easy it is to set up and connect devices. However, I ran into a bit of a puzzle when trying to create a simple lighting schedule for my aquarium. I wanted the lights to turn on at 8 AM and off at 9 PM, but it wasn’t as straightforward as I expected.
At first, I tried using two separate flows: one to turn the lights on at 8 AM and another to turn them off at 9 PM. It worked, but it felt a bit cumbersome. I wondered if there was a more elegant way to achieve this without creating two separate flows.
After some research and a bit of trial and error, I discovered that I could simplify the process by using a single flow with a condition. Here’s how I did it:
- Create a flow that triggers when the light is turned on.
- Add a condition to check if the current time is between 9 PM and 8 AM.
- If the condition is met, the light will turn off automatically.
This setup ensures that the lights stay on during the day and turn off at night without needing two separate flows. It was a bit tricky to figure out at first, but now it works perfectly!
If anyone has any tips or alternative solutions, I’d love to hear them. Happy automating!
