Schedule not working right

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)

I have a schedule called LateNight with a start time of 23:00 and a stop time of 06:00 the next morning. I have two conditions that in connection with a motion sensor, turn a light on at either 100% (!LateNight) or 30% (LateNight). However, after midnight, it seems that LateNight isn’t set as the light is going on at 100%. Is there a trick to getting it to recognize that portion between midnight and 6am?

Please post the status report so we can see what’s going on

I would create a schedule from 0600 to 2300, then use the NOT operator.

somecondition !schedule

Your actions would only then be valid between 2300 and 0600.

I think the problem is the schedule type.
Here you created an interval that is true every 19 hours and 30 minutes. Not every day at 19:30.
Try to change it like this. Do the same with the other one. You could also do as zed rally suggests.

Worth a try, certainly, but why doesn’t it work from 23:00 to 06:00?

Oh, wait, now I get it… YARM. (Yet Another Rookie Mistake). Dumb one, at that.

Interval… Fires every number of hours. Not at a certain time of day.

Changed it to weekly… Should work much better now.

I’m only admitting this and leaving it here so that it helps others who might have a brain fart like I did. :slight_smile:
