yes/no/ no response

planned

The flow I created earlier works on a yes/no scenario. It turns my heating down if I say yes and leaves it alone if I say no. But how do I get it to act if there's no response ?

Leave it to run every 20 minutes for example and when it gets a yes answer, use 'disable the (name of routine) routine' in 'Customised' (without the ') within the same routine that turns your heating down, so it won't run again. Similarly very early in the morning I have a reset routine that I use 'enable the (name of routine) routine', to put it back to start again. I've used a very simple example so if you have any problems, give me a shout.

Kate Hadley. This wouldn’t work for my scenario. I was using Alexa’s motion detection. If Alexa detected no presence, it would trigger vm to ask if anyone was there. If you answered yes, it would leave the heating alone, if you answered no, it would turn it down. But if I wasn’t there to answer it did nothing, which defeats the object. If no one answers, there’s a good chance that no one was there, but vm would do nothing. To be honest, it’s been that long that I’ve given up on it, even forgot how I configured it to start with.

That's a good question.
Another question in this situation: what if there is a response but it hasn't been recognized?
My speaker is pretty far away from me so it often can't recognize what I'm saying. In my case, the answers would be: 1/2/3/4/5. 
If it would recognize what I said, it would re-call itself later.
But it often doesn't understand, it says "Sorry, something went wrong" and... nothing. I can't control what it does in this case.
