It looks like the If/Then action is disabled… but it is very difficult to tell what is going on without proper formatting, an explanation of what your goal is, and details about what isn’t working the way you expected.

Hello, the sensor is only intended to work between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., or between sunset and sunrise.

5

The time condition is not enabled:

but as I said earlier it is difficult to help you if you do not format your post correctly.

6

To format your code correctly is not that hard, @Jankr:

Simply highlight the code block you pasted into the textbox and hit the </> button above.

Try again.

Or

We are not telling you to do this to be difficult. It is actually really hard to help you if you don’t format your post correctly.

And do not post a screen-shot of text. That is even worse. We cant edit a screen-shot.

Stop posting the same unformatted text over and over again.

Listen to what we told you repeatedly or we can not help you and I will close the topic.

Also why did you mark my post as the solution?

11

Get rid of the If/Then action, put the Time condition in the condition block (“And If” section in the Automation editor).

Thank you for your suggestion. I corrected the script and everything works fine now. See below the final code.
