FlowBits
Sequence Name reaches Value
FlowBits
Small bits of logic, big difference in your Flows.
FlowBits makes automation more accessible by giving you simple tools for everyday situations. It does not focus on large features, but on the small things that make a difference.
With a few extra logic cards, building a good flow becomes just a bit easier.
- Step sequences (cycles) let you easily go through different steps in a fixed order, forward or backward.
- Flags let you quickly switch functions or states in your flows on or off.
- Modes help you clearly define the general situation in your home.
- Sets allow you to group related states together and track them as a whole. You can activate states individually, exclusively, or all at once, with optional expiration times.
- Labels store text values that you can set, check, and use throughout your flows.
- Events keep track of when something happened, allowing you to check if it occurred today, within a certain time window, or how many times.
- No-repeat windows prevent a flow from being triggered multiple times in quick succession.
- Timers give you an easy way to include delays or time intervals in your automations, with support for pausing and resuming.
- Sliders provide numeric values that can be adjusted through flows or widgets.
- Signals offer a simple way to send and receive named signals between flows.
Additional utilities:
- Math operations for rounding, dividing, multiplying, and adjusting numbers.
- Chance-based conditions for adding randomness to your flows.
Widgets are available for flags, modes, sets, labels, events, timers, and sliders.
