There is a logic error: Time can never be bigger than SunSet AND at the same time smaller than SunRise! This is impossible.

So it should be "or" instead of "and"

making

door sensor = open and (Time > Sunset or Time < Sunrise)



btw on a sidenote when using the abstractions time and sunset, from a logic point of view it is totally correct to use "AND". Time does not reset at 00:00 (this is not groundhog day) just like 1+99 does not reset to 00 but result in 100, and in case of time representation the 1 in 100 is a brand new day!

That the abstraction translation and representation to actual numbers (like sunset to 06:34 AM, time to 03:22 AM stripping the day carrier) make things difficult and the ambiguous of how time is defined more so if you are not a programmer: does time include days, months and years or time for just one day. There in lies the problem.

Logically speaking: Sun is Down = Time < Sunrise and Time > Sunset

But yeah then time, it's all bout the forgotten days...
Time, abstractions and logic, all funny stuff...

Try to make you're blocky script like this :

If time is > then sunset and doorsensor = open
Set staircase lights = on for 1 minute

Else if

If time is > then sunrise and doorsensor = open
Set staircase lights = off

That only make more code... and it will not work in the morning :-/
changing and to or is enough...

Just use:

if door sensor = open and (Time > Sunset or Time < Sunrise)
do set etc...

So you can enjoy your light for a minute when the sun is down and the door opens!
