Executing routine unless virtual switch is on

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Want to execute a piston using a ‘timer’ unless my virtual “party” switch is “on”.
Tried the following method first but webcore complains that I shouldn’t nest a timer inside an if statement:
if party_switch is not on
then
everyday at sunset -30, do fade in, etc…

So basically it should be a conditional timer based on the value of party_switch being off/on

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

Try put a restriction in.
ONLY WHEN.
Party Switch is off.
IF
Time is
THEN.
etc
etc

Trying to find the “only when” condition within webcore, can you point me in the right direction?

When you have a piston in edit mode, click on the options tab top right.
In the drop down you will see ‘Show Restrictions’.
Tick it.
ONLY WHEN should appear in the piston as an option.
