First of all your logic might not be correct. You have now >= start <= end. Pretty sure you want start <= now <= end i.e. use the switch turn on service if the time is currently between the alarm start and end times.
Second you are converting your time strings like 23:45 to floating point. Pretty sure this won’t work. Try converting to timestamps then maybe floating point if required. Use the dev tools template editor to test. I don’t have access to mine at the moment so can’t do it for you.
