HC3 - Scene with date range over year change (winter)

[Erwan_R1 4]

Hello everyone,
I have created a scene to run at 5AM in "winter" i.e. from November 15th to March 15th.
So the end of the range is somehow "before" the start because it spans over 2 different years:

Please login or register to see this attachment.

However it is triggered despites we are after March 15th (April 2nd 2025 today).

I have another scene from June 1st to September 1st which works just fine.

I tried to convert it to LUA and it created this:

 

{

  conditions = { {

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = "match",

      property = "cron",

      type = "date",

      value = { "00", "05", "*", "*", "*", "*" }

    }, {

      conditions = { {

          isTrigger = false,

          operator = "match<=",

          property = "cron",

          type = "date",

          value = { "0", "0", "15", "11", "*", "*" }

        }, {

          isTrigger = false,

          operator = "match>=",

          property = "cron",

          type = "date",

          value = { "59", "23", "15", "3", "*", "*" }

        } },

      operator = "any"

    } },

  operator = "all"

}

 

which looks suspicious to me because I understand it defines the exact opposite of the date range in the year. I am understanding it right ?
Has anyone faced a similar issue with date range spanning over 2 years ?

Thanks in advance !

It looks like a classic "time span" bug.

One could have got around it by specifying after 11 or before 3, but then there is no way to group the OR vs the AND.

I believe that in the lua scene you can have more nested conditions, but I haven't tested it.

I have changed it for the LUA version where I inverted the operator, I believe it should do the job:

{

  conditions = { {

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = "match",

      property = "cron",

      type = "date",

      value = { "00", "05", "*", "*", "*", "*" }

    }, {

      conditions = { {

          isTrigger = false,

          operator = "match>=",

          property = "cron",

          type = "date",

          value = { "0", "0", "15", "11", "*", "*" }

        }, {

          isTrigger = false,

          operator = "match<=",

          property = "cron",

          type = "date",

          value = { "59", "23", "15", "3", "*", "*" }

        } },

      operator = "any"

    } },

  operator = "all"

}

 

Thinking again on the original generated version, I believe it would have run every day actually :
Any day in the year is before November 15th OR after March 15th - isn't it ?
Should I create a ticket on Fibaro support ?

I have the same issue with a date range not working.

 

Scene should not be running now, but continues to run outside of date range after 04/04

 

{

conditions = { {

isTrigger = true,

operator = "match",

property = "cron",

type = "date",

value = { "00", "16", "*", "*", "*", "*" }

}, {

conditions = { {

isTrigger = false,

operator = "match<=",

property = "cron",

type = "date",

value = { "0", "0", "6", "10", "*", "*" }

}, {

isTrigger = false,

operator = "match>=",

property = "cron",

type = "date",

value = { "59", "23", "4", "4", "*", "*" }

} },

operator = "any"

} },

operator = "all"

}

}

 

 

Just change the operator like I did.
