Turn light on 30 minutes before sunset with Blockly (Solved)

[jeroenvdpoll]

Hello,

Not sure were to place this question.

Ik want to turn the lights in 30 minutes before sunset. (At sunset it is to late). How can I accomplish this with blockly? Currently I'm doing fine with blockly and don't want to invest in LUA.

Are there any tricks to accomplish this?

Regards,
Jeroen

Just use a timer, or go scripting and let your imagination go...

I don't want to invest in learning the LUA scripting language if it's not necessary.

This is basically the only thing I cannot figure out with purely using blockly.

Can you explain how to use a timer?

I figured it out:

Created a dummy switch and set time 30 before sunset to turn switch on, at sunrise (before sunrise 0 minutes) it turns off.

This dummy switch now controls the lights.

Thanks for setting me on the right track

You do not need blockly for this but use the timer function (button Timer on device widget), see wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Managing_ ... ice_Timers
