Help with Piston - Time Related

#1

I have a piston to turn on my TV, that is supposed to work like this:

  • Weekends -> Turn On at 8:30
  • Workdays -> Turn On at 17:30
  • On Workays that are holidays or I’m in Vacation -> Turn On at 08:30

Problem: Not working on Holidays (like today that is a Portuguese Holiday)

It seems that it failed on Time verification, on the 2nd IF (condition #12), that was checking for Time = 08:30, and for some reason Failed.

Can anyone help me?

I’m guessing by the time the piston gets to the second IF, it’s already past the time trigger… how about formatting it like this… (needs testing)

" it’s already past the time trigger" -> That is my thought…
Ok, I understand your alternative and I will try it out.
Only one repair: On condition #21 instead of “Time happens daily at 8:30 but only on Sundays or Saturdays”, I changed it to "“Time happens daily at 8:30”. Otherwise, the IF of condition #26 only works on Weekends :slight_smile:

Good catch, I forgot to remove that restriction :slight_smile:
