Hello all, I am new to this, glad to have found it!

I want to make a very simple flow that contains two triggers.
One to trigger PRIORITY Interruptions at 11pm and one that triggers ALL interruptions at 8am.

I can create a trigger with two time triggers, but don't see how to make the one trigger turn the interruption mode one way and the other time trigger make the mode go another way.

Do I have to create two separate flows or can I specify which trigger activates which action?

Thanks,
Mark.

I think you have to add condition(s) after the triggger(s) to direct the flow one way or another. I do this sometimes rather than have two flows.

Hi
I was thinking of two conditions, but then what would I have as the trigger if the conditions are the times to activate the actions?

Repeat the triggers as conditions...

Hi
I deleted the triggers and now have two conditions, based on a time between 11pm and 8am, and then two actions from that based on whether those conditions are True or False... so I test it by pressing Execute in the app, but of course I am triggering it... so it works, but I still need a trigger. I have posted my flow...


If I make two triggers, how would I then point one trigger at one condition/action and the other at the other condition/action?

You need to put the triggers back, so the flow starts at either of the time changes. The condition then determines what to do next. Or just use two flows if you find it easier...

Hi
Tx Wibbly,
I could try that, though I don't understand how the conditions would know... would they know which one to use because the time is the same in the trigger/condition?
I have already made two flows, but I would like to learn the app a bit better and do more sophisticated things, and it's neater to have one flow!

I will post the result after a good/lousy night's sleep tonight!

Try this:

Condition: Expression
trigger == "write here trigger name exactly, with quotes"
True path executes only when the named trigger executes the flow. False path is the opposite; it executes only when any other than before named trigger fires up.

Hi
Thanks, I tried that, but it still does not switch things back on at 8am.

I realised last night that this new Lollipop "interruption" paradigm does not mute or silence your phone at all, so when you are lying next to your sleeping wife and unlock your phone, it will still make the chiming unlock sound, and so will ALL sounds still happen... it only silences OUTSIDE notifications etc... so if you want to really have a silent phone, you have to lower the volume of the phone down to vibrate only, and then set your interruptions to Priority or None.
What a complete PITA! I heard though that lollipop 5.1 WILL HAVE MUTE!!!!

thank the lord for small mercies

Post your flow here so it would be easier to help you. I'm not sure, though, if I can help you any further, because I'm still using GB and your flow won't work on my phone.
