A flow is an if-this-then-that rule for your home, and with Homey Pro you build them without writing a single line of code. It doesn't start with the technology but with the question of what you want to achieve: saving energy, living more safely, or simply thinking less about switches. Line up your goals and map out which devices you already have, from Philips Hue and Nest to Ring and Sonos.
In the Flow Editor you connect triggers to actions. When the sun sets, the living room lights turn on. When the motion sensor detects something while you're away, you get a notification. With logic and timers you build more complex routines, like a good-morning scene tied to your alarm. Test every flow under real conditions, ask your housemates for feedback, and refine. Automating isn't a one-time job: the more you fine-tune, the more natural your home will feel.

Start by defining your goal for each flow. Do you want to save energy, improve security, or simply add convenience? Write down what your home should be handling for you.
Map out your devices and services: lights and switches, thermostats, security, and multimedia. That way you know what you can combine.
Build your first routine in the Flow Editor. Connect a trigger like 'sun goes down' to an action like 'turn on the living room lights' and give the flow a clear name.
Suggestion: Use logic and timers for more complex scenarios, for example a good-morning routine tied to your alarm.Test every flow under real conditions and ask your housemates for feedback. Account for delay times and adjust where needed.
Review your flows monthly and expand them as you add new devices. The more often you refine, the more natural your home will feel.
