Light Piston loops

Bosty · 2018-11-26 14:19:14 UTC

1) Give a description of the problem
The piston starts fine and runs through the scenario but at the end, 11:30pm, it starts over at the 10:00pm settings.

2) What is the expected behavior?
The piston starts at 1 hour past sunset, then at 10:00pm, the lights starts to dim and shut off for the night at 11:30pm.

3) What is happening/not happening?
The lights dim at 10:00pm then at 11:30, it restarts at the 10:00pm dimming again.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)
(PASTE YOUR LOGS HERE BETWEEN THE MARKS THEN HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THE LOGS SND CLICK ON THE </> ICON TO FORMAT THEM)

Try using every day at 10:00 PM instead of Time is after. I believe it will loop since after 11:30 PM when the time changes it is still after 10:00PM so the statement becomes true and then it performs your tasks.

Bosty · 2018-11-26 14:46:31 UTC

Makes sense. I’ll try that tonight.

Bosty · 2018-11-26 14:54:18 UTC

ok, silly question. Is that Time happens daily at 10:00 PM? If not, how do i get that statement?

eibyer · 2018-11-26 14:55:38 UTC

There’s another one… I think it’s under Timer? Will verify.

Edit: Like this one…

Bosty · 2018-11-26 20:51:12 UTC

So I changed the statement to every day and now the first statement doesn’t run. It starts with the every day statement. So in this example, it starts at 2:11 PM not 2:10 PM.

You can change the first statement to the everyday at Sunset (and corresponding offset). Also, if your bulbs turn on when the set level is sent, you can drop the Turn on task.

Bosty · 2018-11-26 22:43:27 UTC

That seems to work… I actually just changed all if statements to every day. Thanks for the help eibyer.
