I am trying to create a flow with the above mentioned criteria. But it is not triggered. What I tried: IF Motion sensor brightness \> 60 lux AND the time ist later than 8:00 SET the position to 100% (which is completely open) I think it does not trigger because it might only trigger on that moment, where the brightness crosses the “60 lux line” and if that is the case before 8:00 there is no triggering. Does anyone have an idea on that topic. Would appreciate any help. Kind regards! ---

Try (of you can) IF - Brightness changes AND - (Logic) Brightness is higher than 60 AND - Time is after 8am THEN - Set position ---

That sound logic to me. Just modified the flow and will give it a new tomorrow. Will give you a reply after that. Thank you very much for taking your time!!! ---

The problem with your flow is, if the brightness rises higher than 60 lx _ **before** _ 8:00 o’clock in the morning, then the flow will not be triggered. It will work in wintertime, because the sunrise will be later than 8:00 o’clock, but not in summertime. So the right way is Torbjorns flow. Every time the brightness changes it is checked if the brightness is above 60 lx and is after 8:00 o’clock. ---

Hey to the both of you. This worked out. I was also thanking that the problem is the one mentioned by you but was not able to figure out a solution. But this morning it worked with your solution. Thanx again for your help!!! ---

The solution was from Torbjorn, I just explained it a bit more. 😉 ---

Fixed that 😉 I was not aware that only one reply could bei marked as “solution”. Thanx anyways for your kindness!
