Dim lights at time x

Configuration
101

Yes we just opened some beers to celebrate this.

Will change the condition part.

102

ok, so something is wrong with the scene, can you manually turn the scene on to make sure that it works?

103

Is it an idea to also set the sun rule in the open part? Otherwise the lights will turned on during the day.

No, because for the location that you are in the Sun will always be down at Midnight, and the code you just posted, I see an issue:

        state: 'below_horizon’

Wrong quote, should be:

        state: 'below_horizon'
105

That was the mistake I spotted earlier that I thought you had put in deliberately to get @RemcovanKuilenburg to config check and correct himself ; -))))) only : - ((((( now …

106

Correct but what will it do when the gate opens after sun rise. Will it trigger the lights then? This because we tell this for the closing part and not for the opening part.

What I want is lights on and off during sun down. During winter times it is still dark in the Netherlands when we drive off to work. So need the lights. But in Summertime the sun is up when we leave the house.

107

HA ha haha AH, that is funny.

108

I’m going to bed CU

109

That is why I had you change that condition. That condition say do only between the hours of 12am and 6 am

110

@Mutt, you all Partied out ? Have a good rest. Who has the Sharpie’s?

111

Sorry, had two blond ladies complaining for a last walk.

Yes we can do that. But like said. Winter time still dark at 7 am and summer time light at 5 am. So that is why I wanted to add sun down part to make this work.

112

@Mutt mate. Off to bed? :wink: Cheers mate and thanks for your help.

113

Ah, I see, go for it, add the sun condition and take out the before condition for the time.

114

Changed it but now the error

117

That is weird, I don’t see anything wrong with line 1, unless you have a carriage return or something, but if you are no longer using the web automation in Homeassistant, you do not need the id: lines, try taking them both out.

118

just did and result

I’m not sure here, but what I would do is delete this:

    to: "open"

And then retype it manually
