Hi
I have a IR sensor that send if someone walk by so it turn on the light.
But between that I like to have some wait until sunset so as long is between sunrise and sunset it does not turn on the light.
Pass the output of the motion sensor thru a Time Range Node so that it only passes te payload during the time period you want. (Orange nodes in the image below) I believe this is part of the standard NR installation, otherwise you can use the pallet manager to add it.
In this flow I control the hallway lights based upon motion and time of day. I have a bypass loop that allows the lights to trigger on cloudy days. The current state node allows me to disable the automatic triggering of the lights.
Do you mean you only want to turn on the light if there is movement and it is after sunset and before the sun goes up?
mm I don’t want to turn on light when is not dark outside.
Thanks, it was nice and easy to fix that
For me, sunset/rise was not sufficient as in summer it is still quite light after sunset and already light well before sunrise. In the end I ended up with the Sun2 hacs solution and created a dawndusk sensor which is ‘on’ between dawn and dusk.
EDIT:
a simpler solution might also to use the elevation and assume -6 as a trigger, i.e. if elevation above -6 then it is after dawn and before dusk
mm yes that is true.
But is ok right now, I have a Lux meter that I can add later but right now sunset/sunrise is better then nothing
The luxmeter is of course the best solution as that includes effects of clouds/etc. I only have one such a thing (hue sensor) and this is not good on low lx
have a Hue sensor for motion sensor and lux but does not working right now.
I have a hue motion/lx/temp too and this does not work for me, it falls really rapdily to 0 lux so could not use it for the dawn/dusk.
