Timer question

[Mozart]

Hi, I created the following timer:

Code: Select all

	on = {

		timer = {
			'10 minutes before sunset', 
			'at nighttime at 6:00 at mon,tue,wed,thu,fri',
		}

	},

This works fine except for the second timer, that works fine during the week but it also triggers on saturday and sunday
Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a bug?

Hi Mozart,

change 'at nighttime at 6:00 at mon,tue,wed,thu,fri', to 'at nighttime at 6:00 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri'

Hi Mozart,

change 'at nighttime at 6:00 at mon,tue,wed,thu,fri', to 'at nighttime at 6:00 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri'

Thanks, changed it and hopefully it was that easy
I'll check this weekend...

So, why use both 'at nighttime' and 'at 6:00'? This will only be true if sunrise is on or after 6:00 as nighttime is defined as the period between sunset and sunrise. Unless that's your intention of course

It is my intention
I want my garden lights on when I get up but only if it is still dark outside and I thought that this was a nice solution.

With the change proposed here my timer works the way I want it!

Good! Then my algorithms work!
