Basic HCL scene only active during the night!?

[erikbosman 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I made a scene on my HCL for the hallway. When there is motion in the hallway the scene turn on the lights. Perfect! But..... After 600 seconds the motion scene triggers another scene to turn off the light in hallway 1 and dim the light in hallway 2. (see attached picture) This is only necessary during the night. Then the children like it when there is a light on the hallway 2. (from 22:00 until 08:00). 

 

Is there an option to use a scene only between 22:00 and 08:00?

 

See attached my two scenes. One for the motion, and one for the nightlight in the hallway. Thisone starts at 22:00 or starts after a trigger from the first scene.

This timer option is not directly available in HCL. You need to take a little roundabout route. 

 

1. Create a scene that triggers exactly at 22.00 to change a variable's value to 1. 

2. Create another scene that triggers exactly at 8.00 to change the same variable's value to 0. 

 

Now use the variable value as one of the triggering conditions in all your required scenes, like

if motion is triggered AND variable = 1, then turn on hallway lights
