1) Give a description of the problem
I’m trying to make a piston run on a particular, single day, with a start time and an end time. My energy suppliers have “energy saving days”. They only last for a day and the saving time, when we are to reduce consumption is from 1p to 7p, typically. The problem is I can’t figure out how to get it to run just on the day specified. Not the day before or after. My only choices are:
IS AFTER (this doesn’t work because I want it to run for just one day and not any days after)
IS BEFORE (this doesn’t work because I want it to run the next day not the preceding day)
IS ANY (this doesn’t work because I want it to run for just one day, not on any old day)
IS BETWEEN (this doesn’t work because I only need a single day. I did try making both the between dates the same but that seemed to make it run like IS ANY. I also only want to program it for a single day, not give it a day before and after, that seems silly)
IS NOT BETWEEN (opposite behavior from what I want.)
HAPPENS DAILY AT (I want to set a date, not a time. I tried it and it seem to only run at midnight, not at the times I specified.)
It seems strange that there is no IS or IS EQUAL TO as a selection.
TO SUM UP: How do I make a piston run only on an given single date.
2) What is the expected behavior?
Piston will only run on the single specified day. Not the days before and after and don’t want to program 2 different days to get it to run on the day I want.
3) What is happening/not happening?
It does run when I need it to, but it is also running on days, before and after, that I don’t.
4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston
Also note that the pistons called out “nest away” and “nest home” are used to catpure and reset the nest to the same settings before and after the event. I am just re-using it here but it is usually run when everyone leaves or returns to the house.
5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full
Don’t know how much it helps but here are the most current.
