"Time > Sunrise AND Time < Sunset" doesn't work

[Feddan]

I have two saved events, where I want to turn Off an outside lamp on Sunrise, and turn it On on Sunset.

Sunrise:

Sunset:

But it doesn't work! What am I missing?

Why blockly ? You can do it directly on the switch.

Oh, I did not know that. I will try that instead, thanks!

For the record: The SunSet blockly is never true as that is pretty impossible when you think about it! Maybe an OR relation would be better for that one.

Please check my example. When you press Timers, you can set time when you want to switch On or Off

[Derik]

you need to make a blockley more in this setup. because you use the extra if blockley...

Or you can use the base blockley.

I'm having a similliar problem but my blockly is a bit more advanced so I can't solve it directly on the switch.

My first condition (this one triggers as expected)
is "If PIR on AND Time: >Sunset AND Time: <22.00
Set whatever Switch on for 2 minutes

Second condition (this one doesn't trigger)

"If PIR on AND Time: >Sunset AND Time: <Sunrise
Set whatever Switch on for 2 minutes

Any suggestions to what I'm doing wrong?

When its >sunset it is <sunrise, and the other way around. You dont need the <sunrise of the >sunrise. And you dont need the if/else blocky but the one without the blue thing.
Good luck.

Set trigger on time and this works. (you'r script would trigger every minute between times)

Hi there,

I had the same challenge, but also wanted everything in de blockly with sunset sunrise.
unfortunately i still had to use a dummy switch but i got the rest in de blockly.

p.s. the dummy has a sunrise and sunset timer but is also being turned off when the stairs are being turned off manually. (its not being turned on by the stairs)
