I’ve made an automation to close the blind in the bedroom, but only if the window is closed.
To supplement that, I made this small automation to close the blind if the window is closed, and if I add the sunset / sunrise conditions, nothing happens.
- id: '1570991270753'
alias: Blind - close if window is closed, and the sun is already down
description: ''
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.vindue_sovevaerelse
for: 0:00:15
from: 'on'
platform: state
to: 'off'
condition:
- after: sunset
before: sunrise
condition: sun
action:
- data:
entity_id: cover.rullegardin_i_sovevaerelse
service: cover.close_cover
If I change the condition to check for below_horizon then it works, but then I can’t make use the offset.

Shouldn’t I be able to use the sunset / sunrise as conditions this way?
