Using variables as condition not working

[Guest olebor]

I am trying to get a motion sensor to trigger a scene, but only if the time is within a specified range, eg between 1600 and 2300.

What I did to achieve this was to first create a variable called hour, then I create a scene that will increase this by 1 every hour and reset it to 0 at midnight. So far so good, the variable always have the right value i.e. var=6 between 6 and 7 in the morning etc.

Now I try to create a scene that is triggered by a motion detector and use the variable as an extra condition.

This is not working. I have verified that it will run when I remove the hour conditions. It will also work if I use hour == 16 (will work only if the variable is actually 16). So it seems like evaluation with <, >, <=, >= does not work.

Has anyone else tried this?

What is the version of your home center?

It is version 1.043.

Has anyone else tried this at all?

Waiting for the next version, you can do that now:

First create variable "CanBeTrigerred" set value 0.

Create one scene with day timer, check all days, set as one shot at 16hoo, add THEN block, choose variable CanBeTrigerred and set value 1.

Create another scene with day timer, check all days, set as one shot at 23hoo, add THEN block, choose variable CanBeTrigerred and set value 0.

Now you can use CanBeTrigerred as condition in all your scenes because CanBeTrigerred is automatically set to 1 when hour is between 16h00 and 23h00 and set to 0 otherwise

I use this technique in many case... Frost detection, motion detection etc.

I hope the next version make easier ...

Thank you Krikroff for the tip with the variabel, it helped me a lot for similiar scenes and understanding of the consept with variabels.
