Be aware of using flows with sensor-based triggers. The flow is running background all the time listening to the sensor value. It might drain more battery on some devices. Mis-trigger also can be a common thing, especially when the action is flashlight, which drain battery. So better have something to enable/disable that flow only when needed. I usually have a complement flow to toggle those kind of flows' state.

You're perfectly right, thank you for adding this, I thought it's obvious, but might not be for everybody. I too have a widget/shortcut, which toggles the flow states, especially that I have set the sensitivity to high on my phone (the shared one is set to the default medium). I added "the turn off flash in 1 min" exactly to avoid draining in case of accidental trigger.
