Hello all… I need help with a flow i currently have…
The flow checks current humidity level in the bathroom… after a certain % of humidity, it turns on the extractor fan… However I want to add an alexa TTS announcing it will turn on the fan in a few seconds…
The issue is that it will keep announcing it after every new value the flow receives from the sensor.
How can I get it to just run once before the fan is switched on?
Here is a copy of my flow:
