NEW USER. I made this rule last night. It does turn lights and fan on when door is opened.
How do I limit this rule to stop at say midnight?
I am also wanting the lights to turn back off after I’ve been outside a minimum of 5min. The next time the door opens.
To start with, remove time from trigger and add time range to IF condition
Trigger
Door changes to open
Flow
If time is between xx and yy
Then
Light on
Fan on
If
Door stayed closed for 5 mins
And
If Door changes to open
Then
Light off
Fan off
Something like this
Though I am not sure about ‘door is open’ part. I used to have a webcore piston to do this perfectly well. I will try this one out or maybe we have to use a variable and two rules to achieve this.
As its written now the rule will only run at 10 mins after sunset OR anytime the door opens.
You’ll need to change your rule flow.
You’ll need additional triggers
• 10 mins after sunset (only if you want the fan and light to turn on at this specific time no matter if door is opened or not)
• door changes to open
• door stays closed for 5 mins
• light stays on for 5 mins
• time is midnight
Flow
If (ALL)
Time is between (whatever time frame you want the lights to come on)
door changes to open
Then
turn light on, turn fan on
If (ANY)
light has stayed on for 5 mins
door stayed closed for 5 mins
door changes to open
Then
turn light off
If
time is after 11:59pm
Then
turn fan off, turn light off
Thank you. I had one in webcore that worked perfectly as well. I am about to use your example
