1) Give a description of the problem
I am not sure how to code this piston in the simplest way. I could make a lot of if/then statements to do it, but I feel like there is likely a clean way that I am not familiar with.
2) What is the expected behavior?
I would like the Christmas tree lights to be on when we 1) we are home and 2) it is between 6 PM and 10 PM. Ideally, I would like the lights to turn on and off within this window if we leave the house and return. For example, if we are home at 5 PM, leave at 6:30 PM, and return at 8:00 PM, the lights should turn on at 6:00 PM, turn off at 6:30 PM, turn on at 8:00 PM, and turn off at 10 PM.
3) What is happening/not happening?
This piston works fine when we are home for the entire night, but it obviously does not work in many other situations. if we are not home at 6 PM but come home at 7 PM, they won’t turn on, and lots of combinations will not work either. Do I need to make a bunch of additional triggers/actions that execute on each arrival/departure action, or is there a cleaner way to do it?
4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!
5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)
