I don't understand TIME

#1

I can not figure out how to do this. I just want a notification if a light goes on

so if “couch light” goes on between 10 pm and 6 am send a notification… but the complexity of the choices has me lost. Can anyone help me please? Thanks

IF
Light A changes to on…
AND
Time is between x and y.
THEN
WITH
Location
DO
Send push notification.

Import this using the code and put in your device and amend time and push accordingly.

Thank you soooo much that is what I needed. I did as you suggested and copied and edited… but why was I unable to find the “Time” option? I looked and looked.
I clicked on "Add a new Piston"
then "Create a Blank Piston"
I give it a name and click on create
click on add an If
add a condition
choose my light and click that it is a switch
but from there I can not find the AND that you used or the Time…
what am I not seeing?

TIME is considered a Virtual Device. Choose that option.

Once you’ve added your light, click Add more and you can select Virtual device, etc. An AND will be set up by default (which can be clicked and changed to OR, etc).
