need event to trigger between 4pm and 6am only

[Kevb]

IF (your trigger)
AND IF The time is after 4PM

OR IF (your trigger)
AND IF The time is before 6AM

THEN (your actions)

is not what i need.


I need


IF (your trigger)
AND IF The time is after 4PM

AND IF (your trigger) <--------------------------- AND
AND IF The time is before 6AM

THEN (your actions)

does not work.

Note: Events start with a trigger. Triggers are started with 1) IF or 2)OR IF. The timeframe you mention is a Condition. Conditions start with AND IF. That is why your second trigger needs to be OR IF.

i did that exact thing above but it doesnt work

The Event as configured will work. As Kevb wrote, please post a screenshot.

This cannot work, because a Trigger is ALWAYS IF or OR IF. AND IF precedes a Condition.

It has to be constructed as I posted or as SteveMSJ suggested.

No you need what I showed. The OR IF is a repeat of your Trigger which is the door sensor opening. There is nothing wrong with having two identical triggers in an event with separate conditions.
