If you move your second IF block down to it’s own block, it will work.

#3

You have a nested trigger at line 31 ( the orange lightning bolt in the left margin). I like to keep all of my triggers top level. Pull the IF at line 30 out into a block of its own (as suggested above).

Yes. Looks good.

#6

just be aware… there is a block of 29 minutes and 30 seconds where the light will not be turned off when the motion sensor is inactive :slight_smile:

because one is set to 30 minutes before sunset and he other to 30 seconds before

Good catch. Missed that.
