Roller shutter time control with no before and no later than at

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi there,

I’m new to Home Assistant and Node red but have been able to “migrate” most of ioBroker so far. I only have my problems with the roller shutter control.

So far (ioBroker => Blockly script) I have arranged it so that the shutters are closed at sunset, but not before 6 p.m. and not after 10 p.m.

The control by means of sunset is not the problem, but how do I manage it with the “frame times” of 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.?

Examples:

  1. Sunset is at 5:15 p.m., i.e. before 6 p.m., so the shutters should only go down at 6 p.m.
  2. Sunset is at 8:15 p.m., i.e. after 6 p.m. and before 10 p.m., then the shutters should be lowered immediately.
  3. Sunset is at 10:15 p.m., i.e. after 10 p.m., then the shutters should be down at 10 p.m.

I hope I was able to make my problem understandable and hope that someone can help me.

Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in my search here.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi Mikefila,

thanks for your work. Meanwhile I found this module “blind” within this package: https://github.com/rdmtc/node-red-contrib-sun-position

It work great for me, after I realized how to configure it.

PS: How can I mark this topic as solved?
