Month based time condition

Feature Requests
1

Unless I’ve missed something, doing conditions based on month isn’t possible. For instance I’m wanting to turn my Christmas lights on, and not turn on the outside lights during December.

Cheers,
Eric

how about a value template sensor displaying the month (based on time_date sensor)
and then in the automation an condition which checks if that sensor is december?

How about using the Google Calendar sensor as a condition?

I use the following to create a sensor.current_month which I check the state of for automation purposes:

  • platform: template
    sensors:
    current_month:
    value_template: “{{ now().strftime(‘%B’) }}”
    friendly_name: ‘Current Month’

You can simply use {{now().month}} to get the current month and use the same in your automation.
