Help needed with script

What I want to accomplish is:
The light goes on at sunset, light goes out at 00:00
And the light goes on at 06:00 until sunrise. So these days the light stays out because sunrise is at 05:xx
Can't make it work.

that is an isssue a am having too, when i notice that sunrise is before 6:00 i turn off the timers that turn the lights on in the morning, you can see that in the screenshot i send.
so if someone does have a script that can do this, or maby, i can figure something out with dzvents.

To me, the blockly in the first post looks valid. “Can’t make it work” is too little info. Which part isn’t working? What does the log say at those specific moments that something should happen? For example: the log should say that the script has run at 00:00. Between 00:00 and 00:15 it should mention that 11 is turned off.

i just created this dzvents script, i am gonna test that one tonight since it is dependant on the sunrise and sunset
Code: Select all
return {
on = {
timer = { "at 1:00",
"at sunset",
"at sunrise",
"at 6:00"
}
},
execute = function(dz, device)
local garden_lights = dz.groups("Tuinverlichting") --group used to switch multiple garden lights/switches
local morningtime = 360 --time in minutes after midnight sunrise should be for the garden lights to turn on
if dz.time.matchesRule("at sunset") then
garden_lights.switchOn()
elseif dz.time.matchesRule("at 1:00") then
garden_lights.switchOff()
elseif (sunriseinMinutes > "morningtime") and dz.time.matchesRule("at 6:00") then
garden_lights.switchOn()
elseif dz.time.matchesRule("at sunrise") then
garden_lights.switchOff()
end
end
}

Although the claim of creating the script is over 18 months old, those who take the time and effort to help, deserve the credits for doing so!
