Beginner: how to design a good flow | like prevent repetition when its unwanted

[FKey]

What I would do:

@Renzo

I want a vacuum to clean if everyone has left the house.

1.You need to set up presence detection (search the forum, many ways to do that

@Renzo

But not always when we leave the house (that is: just once a day (first time) instead of every time we leave that day).
I can imagine that you set a boulean. And reset that every night?

2. Create a boolean or virtual device “cleaning is done”
3. when everybody has left the house and “cleaning is done”=Off activate the flow that starts the cleaner,
4. In that same flow set The virtual device “cleaning is done” to On
   [/quote]
5. Reset the “cleaning is done” at a specific time

Like fantross mentioned, how you build your flow is very personal.I am a huge fan of many flow with a few cards. Want to know why?nread my post “how to structure your flows”
