I’m new to HA (coming from HomeSeer) and am struggling with creating certain automations that require the time to between a certain period and only firing when a monitored entity (lux sensor) is above a certain value.
I am using the automation GUI to try and build an automation to open the living room blinds in the morning but only when a lux sensor is above a certain value and only when the time is either after 7am (or I could also use/have tried between 7 and 10am).
I have tried using helpers as both conditions and triggers in combination with time but nothing works. In HS an automation could check the absolute state of a binary and use that as a trigger where as HA can only use a state change or crossing threshold.
I don’t really know yaml and would prefer to use GUI but I can’t see how to do this kind of conditional automation using the GUI.
Can anyone help?
