Night time restriction is not working


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
The mode is not changing away from night mode.

2) What is the expected behavior?
If the hours are between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. switch to night mode else run a separate piston which is not pictured here.

3) What is happening/not happening?
It is 7:40 and SmartThings still says it’s in night mode

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

At first glance it looks like all your triggers are presence based. The restrictions are just restrictions, it will not trigger a change in mode when it hits 7:01AM.

So I have to add the time frame with the other triggers such as if presents one is away and the mode is away or home and it’s between the afternoon in the morning

Oops, very delayed response. My first attempt without major modification to what you have now is move the time restrictions from restrictions and just add it as a condition. I’m almost positive that the piston will then subscribe to those times and then trigger the piston again once it hits that time start and end.

Also, I see your time restrictions overlap, maybe do 7:00 ending and start at 7:01 for the other time block.

I did that before I saw this so at least I’m thinking about it correctly. I’ll see if my change works.
