How to: Starting flow at 20:00 (time) or at sunset? Whatever will be first but at latest on 20:00? ---

[Advanced scheduler](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.fp.advanced-scheduler/Advanced-Scheduler/) app is exactly what you’ll need. Forum topic [here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-advanced-scheduler/43767). ---

The AS as suggested by @Peter_Kawa ist definitely a good solution. With the AS you will need only one flow. With the other way in „Homey Style“ you will need two flows. **Flow 1 (Sunset is the trigger)** When… — At sunset And… — Time is earlier than 20:00 o’clock Then… — … **Flow 2 (Time is the trigger)** When… — Time is 20:00 o’clock And… — It‘s ~~after~~ before sunset Then… — … ---

I agree that AS is a good choice. However if using your suggested flows, the AND clause in flow 2 needs to be changed to It’s before 20:00 o’clock. Otherwise it won’t trigger at 20 o’clock if sunset is after 20 o’clock. Regards Niclas ---

Almost… Flow 2 AND should read “It’s before sunset” The flows then trigger at sunset OR at 20:00hrs, if the sun is not set yet. Example: This flowset works fine, but the other way round. (They trigger at sunrise/or/06:30AM though and written in Dutch). **IF** time = 06:30AM **AND** it is after sunrise **IF** at sunrise **AND** time is after 06:30AM ---

Thanks Peter! That’s what I actually meant 😀 ---

Haha okay! This stuff is a bit mind-boggling sometimes 😉 ---

You are absolutely right, that was a careless mistake that I have already corrected in the post. ---
