Hey all,
I’m sure I cant be the only one interested in this, but I cant find any posts on it.
I want to have a condition of 23:00 to sunrise. How can I do that?

You need to have two conditions with “OR”:
Condition one to cover from 23:00 to midnight: current time greather or equal to 23:00
OR
Condition two to cover from midnight to sunrise: sun.sun before sunrise…
condition:
condition: or
conditions:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ (as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom("%H:%M")) >= "23:00" }}'
- condition: sun
before: sunrise
Thanks for that! So it was just that its so simple that everyone gets it HAHA
condition:
- condition: time
after: '23:00'
before: '00:00'
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: sun
before: sunrise
Ill prob just put your one in, again thanks But is this on the right track?
The OR condition must be on top (see my updated post…)
Your two conditions are correct as well… (the “'before ‘00:00’”’ is not necessary)
Slightly simpler:
condition:
condition: or
conditions:
- condition: time
after: '23:00'
- condition: sun
before: sunrise
For the time condition if only one of after
or before
is used, the other end of the time range is midnight. However if both after
and before
are used the time range can span midnight.
You guys are great, thank you both
Operators at the top of the condition…
Got ya,
- condition: time
after: '23:00'
- condition: sun
before: sunrise
So this is really, 23:00 till Midnight or Midnight till Sunrise
Correct.
One more question on this automation if you have time?
In Webcore I would put both my actions in one Automation, like a routine.
Generally in HA, do you just have this as a separate automation?
Two automations would be simplest but there are ways to use only one.
trigger: # triggers are OR logic, either trigger will activate the automation
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion
to: 'on'
- platform: binary_sensor.motion
to: 'off'
for:
minutes: 5
action:
- choose:
- conditions: # conditions are AND by default, so 'on" and 11pm to sunrise
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion
state: 'on'
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: time
after: '23:00'
- condition: sun
before: sunrise
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.mirror_light
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion
state: 'off'
sequence:
- service: light.turn_off
entity_id: light.mirror_light
