I have an automation to turn on my outdoor christmas lights twice a day. But only if the current time is after the time specified in the input_datetime.start_christmas
.
date of writing is jan 3 2024
-
When setting the
input_datetime.start_christmas
to dec. 1 2023 as date and then test the condition it says “condition did not pass” -
When setting the
input_datetime.start_christmas
to dec. 1 2023 0:00 as date and time and then test the condition it says “condition passes” -
When setting the
input_datetime.start_christmas
to jan. 5 2024 0:00 as date and time and then test the condition it says “condition passes” too.
