Scene that works in an interval

[Cantel 0]

Hi

I would like to make a scene that turn on the light at night between 23:30 and 05:00

Getting the motion sensor to turn on the light is no problem, but to set up the timer interval is giving me a headache. 

I’m new to lua programming ?

Anyone that could help with some code or ideas.

 

Regards

René

Hey Rene, another idea- you can make yourself a simple block scene to turn on the lights at the appointed time, and then another one to turn them off.

 

Then if you want, you can convert the block scenes to LUA scenes, to see how LUA works or to expand on the code to make more functionality.

Hi
It does not matter !
Remember my scene, you can count on it for example 25 minutes before sunrise or 15 minutes after sunset are no problem.

if calculate_minutes(TimeNow) >= calculate_minutes("sunrice") - calculate_minutes("00:25") then

end

 

if calculate_minutes(TimeNow) >= calculate_minutes("sunset") + calculate_minutes("00:15") then

end

Hi
Here is another example of a time query.
Since you are still new and have not yet built a lot with LUA, you can certainly use this.
A time switch with different switching times for on and off.
Somewhat unusual but very simple.
