I tend to keep my flow tabs specific to certain areas (like kitchen, living room) or functions (like ZHA testing, Hue color cycling). So the tab spaces are small and granular. Currently I have 16 active tabs and 6 inactive. The inactives are mostly reference flows I use as component routine libraries.
I don’t think I have artifacts impacting this issue in any of those other tabs. I typically start a Scratchpad flow tab when experimenting with a new flow like this, then copy it into the appropriate area when fully debugged.
In this case I had never used the timerswitch node before, or the IFTTT Trigger node, or the Tasmota Sensor read node. So it was only in one tab which at this point I have deleted and recreated several times with the behavior continuing.
The Google Sheet fills up pretty quick when it gets a row every 5 minutes! It’s maxed out a 2000 rows now so it’s just getting pinged to no effect. I’m still uncomfortable with an artifact pinging through my network every 5 minutes for eternity.
I’ll append the exported flow with my network and IFTTT deets obfuscated in case you or anyone else with more knowledge than I have can spot something strange.
