Automagic Forum

Hello wonderful people! I need help to perform the following flow:

1 he if screen is turned off
2) wait 5 minutes
3) lock screen
4) (I would like to be sure that Automagic would not try to execute the whole flow again when after step 3 is executed.

Could anybody help me, please?

Still no takers? I'm interested too. At least for some pointers on how to execute this.

Hi,

You could disable the flow when you don't want to execute the flow for a period of time:
Flow 1
-trigger Display State: Off
-action Set Flow State: Disable Flow 1 (or by using a variable Set Flow State: Disable {flow_name})
-action Sleep: 3m
-more actions ...

you could enable the flow again at a later time (or using another flow):
-action Sleep: 5m
-action Set Flow State: Enable Flow X

You could also stop a flow when the display is turned on again:
Flow 1
-trigger Display State: Off
-action Sleep: 3m
-more actions ...

Flow 2
-trigger Display State: On
-action Stop Flows: Flow 1

Regards,
Martin

Thanks Martin. This helped me, partially, setting up my flows with the display on-off for which I've just made a separate posting.
