I have created a “basic” flow that allows me to turn on/off two fans every hour if during daytime or every 30 minutes if it is nighttime. Here is what it looks like:
And here is the JSON for such flow (apologies in advance is big chunk of code):

I want to go beyond and do something like:
if it is daytime then keep the fans running for one hour stop them for 30 min then run them again for the next hour and so on. If it is nighttime then I want the opposite keep them running for 30 minutes and have them stopped for one hour.
As you can see I am using an Inject node which injects a timestamp every hour or every 30 min but this will not allow me to do what I am looking for.
Can I get some ideas? or if you have something similar can you share it with me?
