Hi. I’ve just set up my first button to trigger a Homey flow. The flow switches on and off a room of lights based on the current state of a light (if the light is on switch off all lights in the room else switch them all on) I’m trying to used the flow to change the name on the Rithum button to turn on or turn off dependent on the else action. I can seem to find a way to do this? Is it possible??

  Hi Chris. This isn't currently possible, but there might be an alternative using a Group Scene (available in firmware 2.4.0). You could have 2 Homey flows - one for 'Turn On' and another for 'Turn Off'. Then, on the switch add both scenes to a Group Scene set to 'Step' mode. The switch will then alternate between turning on and turning off, and the label will change accordingly.

  There's a slight flaw though: If the lights are turned on/off by another means then the state wont' be correct and you might then need to press the button twice to get it back in sync.

  Hope that helps.

  This would be a nice feature, I tried something in the same lines, by making the name of the button change, in combination with a group scene, you could cycle through different temp and humidity and use the Rithum as a dashboard.

  But the button just shows "???"

  Hi Brum,

  This is now possible with the latest release. Is your 'Temperature' tag a Logic Variable, or a tag from another device? Note that only Variables are currently supported in labels. If you need it to be based on another tag then you could add a new variable and a flow which updates it when the device tag changes.

  Hope that helps. If you're still having a problem then email us at support@rithumhome.com and we'll assist further. Thanks.

  Thanks!

  I tried to get the value directly from the tag, but it works when makeing a Logic Variable!
