Thanks. I’ll just wait if my variable gets a nice text to show it works and the I can expand
Hi @Morgan. I recently stumbled upon Javascript Logic.
But I don’t know how to start. There aren’t cards for it. So, is it an add-on to Logics, and/or Better Logics?
What I’d like to accomplish is:
pick one name out of an array with names. (Example: let Homey decide who feeds the cat)
Just like the num version: {{round(random(1,10))}}
wich returns a random number.
The funny part is, Homey can do this, but solely with the speech app.
Add a card with Jim;John;Mandy and if run, it will tell randomly one of these names.
Maybe someone can point me to the right direction
Tia, Peter
JavaScript Logic just support some simple AND-conditions and what you need is not one of them. I think it would be able to accomplish in HomeyScript but I have no example for you.
Okay Morgan, I’ll give HS a try. Thanks!
Is there a way to calculate an avarage over a certain period, f.e. take a value every 30 mins and calculate the average on the last 30 values that were taken (so the value is an avarage over the last 30 mins)
I’ve tried a couple of times but I soon get stuck into a difficult web of flows and variables, maybe I’m overlooking something
I googled and came to this tutorial which mentions an average, but is far as I understand it just an avarage between 2 or more sensors that is talked about in the OP
This is a way to put an array random into a variable. I use it to shuffle my radiostations and playlist and put them into better logic variables. It does not work with Logic variables.

- Edit: added example flows
Did you check Insights i.c.w. the Insight Trends app?
With the Insights Trends app you might have your answer
There are 3 Insights apps available b.t.w.:
Example flows:
Insights trends average livingroom temp:
Result: Timeline message:
If you just use this script above and change Radio1, Radio2 etc for the names you want random you will everytime get a random name
Change result=BLApp.apiPut(“ RadioDay etc etc into result=BLApp.apiPut(“ Name etc etc
Make a better logic variabel called Name1 and everytime you run this script you will get random name

Seems to do the trick! tnx, I’m going to look into it.
I think without an app it’s not possible using only Homey flows/logic

With the better logic app you have the ability to use these variables in flows
What variables, from the Insight Trends app? I have Better Logic installed but did not yet get a real usecase to use it instead of homey logic (I’m sure there is, but I’m just starting building flows while finishing our new home)
I’m justing checking it, but I think you can use the Trends app also in homey logic?
BTW I mean: I think using just homey flows/logic it’s not possible to calculate an actual average without additional apps
I added a set of example flows to my post.
It works fine!
Insights trends example of average room temp over 24hrs:
Timeline result:
I have a question about the Insight Trends app.
Is it also possible to monitor the power consumption between a certain time?
I suddenly have a power-consuming device or devices at night, but I have no idea which device it would be. I first want to know if it happens more often and then see which device it is.
If I want to view the Insight data from Homey and then the detailed 6 hours I have to turn on the PC in the morning and sometimes I am already gone. So if the app could do it, it would be great.
Where does the app possibly write it to or where can I have it written if the app can do this?
So that I can see what consumption does afterwards.
Insight trends takes one value over time as input. Not an array of f.i. all power values…
From what I understand the most simple way is to export Insights to .csv (for use with Excel) with this app: Exporteer Insights | Homey
In Excel you can sort stuff, and probably find the culprit that way.
I know you were looking for an automagic way but… This is also an option:
An alternative way is to open my.homey.app on a laptop or PC and click the Insights symbol on the left. Open a random graph, on the right of the graph, you’ll see a “+Add Graph” button. A popup appears, and you can filter all available graphs. Enter ‘Power’ f.i. Now only graphs with Power as measure phrase are selectable. Select all the available items.
Now you can fiddle with the timeframe selection. Take “last 7 days” f.i. Now I think you’ll find the culprit by scrolling down all the graphs.
Thank you @Peter_Kawa . I will take a look at both options.
Maybe I can see if there is some strange thing going on.
Today I had the same graph with the same lines of use of energy.
I hope I can find it. If is normal us it is ok, but at that time we are in bed.

I already managed to create some flows (f.e. average humidity in two rooms), the logic behind the Trends cards was not immediatly clear to me. I thought Trends needed to monitor values for the set duration, but I now understand it just takes it’s data from insights (which is kinda logic of course 
) so the wanted values is immedialty available as soon as you use one of these cards
Tnx for the tip, it does exactly what I need. Trends calculated values are not directly available in Homey Logic to use in other flows but you can assign them to Logic variables in a flow similar to your second.
edit: what I don’t get is how you would use the Trend card in the THEN part of a flow. so, IF thisflowstarted … AND…THEN “calculate Trend something” but you can’t do anything with what you calculate after that moment? Like when you start a flow with a Calculate Trend you have that available as a tag, but not when you calculate in the THEN section of the flow
Ah wait, I do know (because I used them in my own testflows 
) when you “THEN calculate Trend” you can use that calculation as a trigger. In your example: you don’t need to trigger the second flow using “Start Flow” in your first flow, it will be triggered on the “IF calculated” in your second flow
So it would be f.e.
- IF every 5 min THEN calculate Trend temperature
- IF Trend Calculated Temperature AND < 20 THEN push “temp too low”
You also could have the first flow calculated more than 1 values, then you can use these as triggers in other flows
Flow 1 calculate all trends:
- IF every 5 min THEN calculate Trend temperature, calculate Trend Humidity, calculate Trend Luminosity
Flow 2 do something with temp
- IF trend calculated Temperature AND …THEN send push
Flow 3 do something with hum
- IF trend calculated Humidity AND …THEN put in Logic variable
etc
When you use calulate Trend in the AND section you can’t use the outcome in the THEN
f.e. IF trigger AND calculate Trend average > 0 then set Var to Average
Outcome is not available as a tag, which might be a shame.
