Compare if sunrise before or after 7:15

Configuration

1

For my automation to open the blinds in the morning, I want the blinds to open no earlier than 7:15 if the sun has already risen. Is sunrise after 7:15, the blinds should open at sunrise. I already have the following automation:

My idea is to have a condition at the first option and check if sunrise is before or after 7:15 using a template. So, if sunrise <= 7:15 result should be false, otherwise true. I can’t find how to get the current time and compare it to 7:15.

Just add a time condition (where you have []) for after 07:15. It will affect all the other triggers though. If you don’t want that, break your automation up into two ones. One to deal only with the morning routine and another for the rest.

Well, I thought about that, but you already know what happens: I have to split the automation. It’s my goal to keep this all together in one, if possible. And just with typing this and your answer, I have found the answer to my own question. To check in Option 1 if the time is after 7:14:59.

For anyone interested, here the code:

Ah, that pesky “issue”.

Have a look here: Time condition - inclusive or exclusive? - #25 by parautenbach.

Personally, to avoid any uncertainty, I only use template conditions in cases like yours (I forgot about the above).

Got it. I didn’t give the full set of triggers my full thought, which is why I stated it open-ended. Sometimes the complexity of a single automation isn’t worth it. My own preference is for smaller, specific automations, but I certainly have large, complex ones too.
