I have a problem with my lights (they are coming on throughout the day) and I think I know the issue but I’m not sure.
I have the following code, but Sunset happens before 6:25, does this mean that Webcore will treat it as 6:25 today and sunrise tomorrow?
As long as 06:25 is before sunrise it will use today’s sunrise. If sunrise is before 06:25 the it will use tomorrow’s sunrise.
I am curious if anyone can confirm if the opposite is also true…
For example, if I invert the code to say:
execute only when Time is between sunrise and 06:25:00
Will it use today’s sunrise if sunrise is before 6:25?
Will it use tomorrow’s sunrise if sunrise if after 6:25?
If so, then maybe use something like this:
If sunrise > 06:25:00 then execute only when Time is between 06:25:00 and sunrise
If sunrise < 06:25:00 then execute only when Time is between sunrise and 06:25:00
This would basically insure that it always triggered between 6:25 and sunrise, no matter which came first. (of courses, two days a year the sun will rise AT 6:25, so nothing will trigger on those days.)
I$sunrise <= datetime(‘06:25’) Triggers if sunrise is greater or equal to 06:25
$sunrise >= datetime(‘06:25’) Triggers if sunrise is less than or equal to 06:25
If you look in your webcore console there is a list of functions in there with the values returned. $sunrise will show you what is being returned for sunrise. Both date and time
Thank you. I couldn’t work out how to enter it the same way as you. Will this work the same?
I’m not sure on mobile right now. When building the piston. Where you are entering $sunset. Click in the option for value and a drop down will open. Select expression and it should let you enter the way I showed earlier.
Try restoring this piston with backup code. Then click on the statement and see how done. Also fin there modify to your needs
