Simple turn on between time range

[jrich523]

Hey Guys,
I am trying to do this with blocky but i suppose lui is fine too.

I just want to turn a light on between 4:30 and 9:30pm, so i created a simple IF block and did the time range and inside the Do i just turned the light on.
This sort of works because it will turn the light on, but after it passes 9:30 it never actually shuts off. Is there some simple way to handle this or do i need to do an On event at 4:30 and then a seperate off event at 9:30?

Thanks, just want to make sure im doing this the best way.
thanks

Why use Blocky or lua-script for switching a lamp based on time?
Simpler method: go to Switches, for the subject Switch select 'Timers', and set the time for ON and the time for OFF.
With 'Timers' for each time you can also set a random variation around this time, and you can also make choices for weekdays, for weekends and for selected days.

For alignment with the nominal times for sun's light you may include sunrise or sunset in Timer-setting.
