Scene or variable not working as intended

[Teza 3]

I am not able to see why this scene is not working as intended.

 

What I try to do:

Only after sunset, and I have gone to bed.

If I need to go to/from the toilet I would like 2 lamps to turn on for 30 seconds.

 

Problem is the lamps turn on and off any time of the day.

Hi @Teza

I Use similar conditionals for this nightlight scene but .. it lets me grab back door access, someone getting up from the couch, going to the toilet at night etc etc when the primary areas lights are off ..

I suspect though that it is the conditonals in day/night .. mine looks like this .. so it turns one variable off then the next on ( Otherwise they are both night & day  and lights get confused )

 

 

Hope this helps !

 

Cheers,

I am only using "predefined variables", no "variables", it seems like you are using "variables".

When should I use the different type of variables?

@TezaSee how you go with Global, I don't claim to be a programmer, but it works for me.

I use predefined variables for very little but I'm sure I should probably use them more. I have them for decklight brightness settings , pre defined temperature in the attic 20 30 40 and corresponding fan speeds for cooling, humidity options in the cellar, and things like that so I can call that in lua scene,

I don't know what others use them for but imagine one variable called 'lights' and having all the light id's stored so then if you call that variable in lua script with the ids you get all the lights.

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps !

Cheers,
