Event before sunrise? Topic is solved

[MatthijsD]

Hello,

I'm struggeling with activating a scene 1,5 hour before sunset.
This is what I got so far:

I think the '90' is not recognized as minutes, but I don't know how to get it right.
Does anyone know how to do this right?

You cannot do calculations in Blockly AFAIK. You can use LUA to do what you want OR set your lat-lng to some place where the sun sets 1.5 hours earlier and then just trigger the blocky on sunset.

Or use a dummy switch. Let that switch go on 1.5 hrs before sunset. From blocky you could read the status of the dummy switch so you "know' when it's time to do something.

I use also a dummy switch where i set the timer

Yes, thanks everyone.
The use of a switch is the way to go!
