Activate scene between Sunset & Sunrise!

[Guest Lars V]

367 / 5000

 

i'm trying to make a Block scene on my HC3, which should be active in the time from sunset to Sunrise.
My devices consist of NEXA SP816-1 And a Fibara DUAL SW.
The scene will work if I set it to a fixed time between e.g. 21:00> 05:00, but I think it must be possible to use Sunset / Rice.

At sunset and at sunrise is an exact moment, not a period. If you want your scene to work during a period, you can, for example, use a global variable like in this post:

It looks like he wants to turn on a light based on a PIR between sunset and sunrise

It is as SmartHomeEddy wrote I  wants to turn on a light based on a PIR between sunset and sunrise..

If you want to use a block scene, see the solution in the post I linked to. With the block scene the light will go off, even if there is movement. If you want to let the light on as long as there is movement, you have to use a other solution.

I thing i have solved it using LUA.
I Converted the Block scene to LUA and changed the operator "==" for Sunset/rise in the cod bellow So now im just waiting for the sun to go down

{

  conditions = { {

      id = 229,

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = "==",

      property = "value",

      type = "device",

      value = true

    }, {

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = ">=",

      property = "sunset",

      type = "date",

      value = 0

    }, {

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = "<=",

      property = "sunrise",

      type = "date",

      value = 0

    } },

  operator = "all"

}

}

 

 

if I want to run scene 60 mins BEFORE sunset and 60 mins AFTER sunrise, then how it should look like?

It works with <= great idea! But you also must change  isTrigger = true, to  isTrigger = false, because you want to use it as condition, not as trigger.
