Month based condition

Configuration
1

I am trying to set up a condition for lamps, that I only want to turn on during the winter months. I tried to add something like this, but i didn’t work:
- condition: time month: - oct - nov - dec - jan - feb - mar

Anybody knows how to achieve this?

Thanks!

I don’t think it’s possible. Maybe you could create a template sensor to keep track of current month?

platform: template
sensors:
current_month:
value_template: "{{ now().month }}"
friendly_name: 'Current Month'

I am trying another condition instead:
condition: sun before: sunrise
I think that will accomplish what I am after, we’ll see tomorrow morning.

This is what I’m using for evening lights:

- alias: eveninglights
  trigger:
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sun.sun
      value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
      below: 5
  condition:
    condition: time
    after: '13:00:00'
    before: '01:00:00'
  action:
    service: scene.turn_on
    entity_id: scene.evening

I prefer using an angle instead of the exact sunset since I want the lights on before the sun goes down, or it will be too dark inside already.

Thanks,
that is a good one too. I will try that also.
