Get a scene only trigger between certain times of day?

Hi,

I’m just started with my Mi Casa Verde and am still learning. Here’s what I want to do, When I unlock my front door and its after 5pm but before Midnight I want my kitchen and dining room lights to come on. I created the scene and it works except I have to link it to a mode and the modes are not definable. I have the scene linked to night mode but I can’t define when night mode should be valid ie 5pm-7am. This doesn’t make sense as I would need to change the mode manually just to get this scene to trigger. I feel time sensitive modes should activate themselves throughout the day. I hope I am missing something because I would have thought this type of configuration would be included. If this isn’t possible I will have to try and configure something through tasker and AutoVera. Thanks for the help!

You could achieve this by adding Lua/Luup code to your scene that only allows it to run between your specified times. See Conditional Scene Execution for an explanation and examples.

Thank you, I’ll check this out.
