Firstly welcome to the community :smiley:

Your welcome and thanks for your kind words.

Nice you put in a use case as this realy helps me answer your question.

Try this I have the same thing you are trying to do;

  1. Import my :bulb: Sensor Light blueprint.
  2. Create a schedule helper and set up your time from 16:00 to 22:00. Go to settings/devices & services/ helper tab at the top/ create helper button down the bottom / select schedule then enter in a name and just select the time you would like for each day and click create.
  3. In the “Sensor Light” blueprint this schedule will be your trigger. Enter it in.
  4. Select the entities you would like to turn ON and OFF in “Lights - Switches - Scenes”.
  5. Now for your “LUX became below 300 (somewhere after 16:00)”. You can “Use The Ambient Options” but because you have said “somewhere after 16:00” looks like you may like to use “The Sun Option”. I use sun but totally up to you, so choose what you would like. If you use sun then just the “Sun Elevation Falling” is the one you will need to adjust because you going to turn it OFF at 22:00 well before the sun rises. Tip: if you use “Sun Elevation Falling” then your starting time can be well before the sun sets like you have with 16:00. Either way if you set the time early your sun or LUX values will be the trigger to turn ON your entity and then it will turn OFF at 22:00.

Hope this helps you and let us know how you go.
