Timer won't work, Event possible solution?

Dear all,
i'm total newbie on Domoticz.
Earlier i used NexaHome things arn't working the same way in these two systems so i need some help/support from you.
If i use timmers on my kitchen lamp.
Turn on 04:50 in the morning
Turn off at Sunrise
OK, that should work.... but now in the summer when sunrise is 03:48 in the morning it will turn on the lamp at 04:50
and ignoring that sunrise is way earlier.
In NexaHome i could "pair/link" those two timers to have it work flawless....
Do we have that possibility in Domoticz?
How should i solve this problem the easiest way?
I'm no script guru.... But a suggestion in blocky might help.

Hello,
maybe, there is what you need in blockly, especially if you click on Time, you will get several options with sunrise and times, and so on.
With this, the switch "Prise 7" (an example here) should turn on at 04:50, but only when sunrise occurs after 04:50.
You also have to remove the timer "Turn on 04:50 in the morning" (it is replaced by this block),
but keep the timer "Turn off at Sunrise".

don't forget to click "Event active", as I often do.
I'm sorry I couldn't test it, so you have to do it
Regards,

Hello Jonas,
sorry not to have answered sooner, I was away for my work.
you are right, Blockly doesn't like "Sunrise" on the left so, this new block worth a try.
I think it equivalent to the previous one.
As I cannot do an image attachment, I will explain in text :
instead of : "Sunrise >= 04:50"
one must use : "Time >= Sunrise"
See you, tell me if u want more.

Make a dummy switch that is turning on and off @ the times you like [ With timer in the Switch ]
Make the blockley:
If dummy switch is on or off then switch the light @ 4:50
Sorry no screendumps possible..[ quota reached ]
