Hello all,
I am trying to run my normal lighting mode based on conditionals of sunset. I have tried using 30 minutes before sunset but it never fires. If I simply put after sunset, it works. The trigger is the security motion sensor in my living room, based on status change. When you use the conditions of minutes past/before sunset, does it only recognize that exact moment? Say for instance, sunset is at 8:00 PM. I have it set to a conditional of "30 minutes before sunset" which I would think the time of 7:30 should satisfy the condition. But if I walk past the sensor at say 7:45, it won't work. Surely this conditional should mean any time after the offset? I don't know how to write scripts so have to rely on the conditionals. I can use sunset, but it's a bit too dark for inside lights.
Thanks,
John
