Curtain automation

[darkjamzi]

Hi,

I would like to create an automated event that opens the curtain from September to March at sunrise. And from March to September at 7am.

With my old system I would say, if time is sunrise, and if date is between September and March, open curtain. else open curtain at 7.

Now I tried something like

trigger: if sunrise execute either a or b only if conditions are met.

A: if date is after 2 September Y and if date is Before 27 March Y. open curtain

B: if date is After 27 March Y and if date is before 2 September Y. open curtain

This doesn't really work.

What would be the best way to achieve this?

Thanks a lot.

How about:

If time is sunrise
and date is before 03/28/yy

orif time is sunrise
and date is after 9/2/yy

orif time is 7am
andif date is after 3/27/yy
andif date is before 9/3/yy

then open curtains

Why do you care about the date? (Curious)

Even with daylight savings sunrise can be way too early during summer in some locations.
