I am trying to set an automation to work between 10PM and Sunrise. I can see the option to select the starting and ending time but can one set between Sunrise/Sunset and an hour?

You nred at least two conditions;  
WHEN …  
AND After 10PM  
OR Before Sunrise

THEN …

Both check against a day so that should work

You could create two flows:

When ‘The time is’ 10pm  
Start doing what you want

When ‘The sun rises in’ 0 minutes  
Stop doing what you started

So, for example, you could turn a light on at 10pm and turn it off at sunrise.

I would put both in an advanced flow to make it easier to see what’s happening.

Thanks for the replies. What I am trying to set is the following:

If Zone becomes active and time is between Sunrise and 10:30 PM then turn on the lights

After 10Pm is true between 22:00 and 24:00  
Before sunrise is true between 0:00 and sunrise  
So between 10Pm and sunrise one of the two conditions has to be true.

After sunrise is true between sunrise and 24:00  
Before 10:30 PM is true between 0:00 and 22:30  
So between sunrise and 10:30PM both conditions have to be true.

Edit at 22:55 corrected flow and replaced screenprint after remark Dijker

- Later than 22u00 OR Before SunSet (in the screenshot) and write about Sunrise…

Question was:
