Hello All,
I have been trying, searching and watching videos and have finally come here hoping for a solution. This is my first node red automation, so I am sure I am doing something wrong…
The flow works when the Garage (MyQ) is “opening” it then checks if the light is on. If it is OFF it goes to check if it is sunset. Here lies the problem regardless if it is sunrise or sunset the light still turns on. I have tried big timer and EZ_timer but was drawn to sun-position by its simplicity. Both big timer and EZ timer were way too sophisticated for me and I tried but had the same issue. If the light is off and it is sunset only then do I want the light to come on – please help
