Flow Group Enable and Disable

Post by kakharin » 04 Feb 2013 13:43

When many flows are related, they have to enable or disable in the same time, or near same time. The Automagic has group feature to classify flows into the same group. Is it possible to enable or disable all flow in a group at the same, or near same, time?

You can use an action Set Flow State to enable/disable a comma separated list of flows. The action also supports patterns like Flow* to enable a list of flows with some common part in the name.
Changing the state of a flow-group is currently not possible.

If possible, please try to add this feature in the next release. This will help user to manually enable or disable group of flows.

I try to name all the flows in a group with a similar naming convention like SMS: Car Mode: All and SMS: VIP: All....that way I can use the action Flow Enable with SMS* to turn them all on or off. I do the same with trigger, action, and condition names si the group together in the New...dialog.

Will you add setting state by flow group some time?
Grouping flow by groups is more natural than (re)naming them using some prefix.

I would like to. Unfortunately my todo-list grows faster than I can implement the new features :)
Let me add a function to get the flow names in a group so you could configure the action like this: Set Flow State: Enable {getFlowsOfGroup("Group name")}. Such a function could also be useful in other actions like Execute Flows, Export Flows/Widgets etc.
