Greater and Less than with Time at Night

Configuration

Hello,

I made a Automation that should turn on and off a smart switch at a given temperature and between a given time. Time and Temp are set in an input.datetime and input.number.

id: "smart_switch_radiator_badkamer_power_on_off_at_target_temperature"
alias: "Smart Switch - Radiator Badkamer Power On/Off at Target Temperature"
description: >-
  Zet de Radiator Badkamer Aan of Uit als de Temperatuur op de Badkamer voor 1 minuut Boven of Onder de Target Temperatuur komt 
  en de optie Power On/Off at Target Temperatuur Aan staat.

It’s a big one haha. But in daytime it is working, but in Night time it is not because the template:

              - condition: template
                value_template: >-
                  {{ states('sensor.time') >=
                  (state_attr('input_datetime.smart_switch_radiator_badkamer_power_on_time',
                  'timestamp')| int | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', False) ) }}
              - condition: template
                value_template: >-
                  {{ states('sensor.time') <=
                  (state_attr('input_datetime.smart_switch_radiator_badkamer_power_off_time',
                  'timestamp')| int | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', False) ) }}

time ON is greater than 23.00(night) and time OFF is smaller than 8.00 (morning)
And that is not possible, because greater than 23.00 cant be smaller than 8.00.

Is there any other way to use a datetime.number ot template in an automation with time?

Also if someone has an idea of making this automation smaller, your welcome :stuck_out_tongue:

2

use OR for condition

3

Thought about that also but than i need to make an OR inside a AND that allowed?

Found also this:

              - condition: time
                after: input_datetime.smart_switch_radiator_badkamer_power_on_time
                before: input_datetime.smart_switch_radiator_badkamer_power_off_time

But should this not be in a kind of template?

Like:

"{{ states('input_datetime.smart_switch_radiator_badkamer_power_off_time') }}"

?

You should be able to make OR and AND inside each other.
