Tried to write block scene to let Motion sensor to send notification during 4 hour after sunset until 1 hour before sunrise. See attached for my block diagram which is not work properly due to it keep sending notification all day

I am using HCL hence LUA is not applicable to me.

@Sita  Create a global vairable in the bottom vairable panel in Panels

Give it 2 values, call them what ever you want but something that relates to what your trying to achieve... say for example

‘sensorTime’  values  ‘On’ ‘Off’

Then create a scene with the times you want switching your new variable.

Then create a second scene using your vairable as a condition along with the sensor.

 

Also search “cookbook” for a helpful PDF relating to Hcl

Thanks. So in my case, I should have 3 scenes?. 1st scene to set sensorTime on, 2nd scene to set off and 3rd to send notification if motion detected and sensorTime is on.
