I am trying to setup the following flow: when hallway becomes active between 04:00am and sunrise turn in the hall light. However the flow activates all day because ‘Sun Events’ considers Sunrise to be the next day. So far I cannot workout how to ensure they are the same day. Would appreciate any…

Thank you for the suggestion but this would not provide a solution for the issue I had. I only want the light to turn on between 4am and sunrise. Thanks to Chris_nl my flow is now working perfectly.

Hmmm, thank you for the suggestion… however this definitely does not work. e.g. if sunrise is 6:00am then the flow “thinks” that the flow is referring to sunrise tomorrow. BUT after much more thought, I think I have solved it… [image]

Thats very weird, will test my flow in a few hours, but I use the sunrise flow in multiple other flows without any issues so far. Your workaround should work, depending on where you live and if 8 AM is not before sunrise.

Sorry missed some text… e.g. if sunrise is 6:00am and the current time is 10:00am then the flow “thinks” that the sunrise is referring to sunrise tomorrow.

[image] What if you do something like this?

i.e. if the current time is later than sunrise, then the sunrise card “must” refer to sunrise tomorrow. Definitely some issue with the logic in the ‘Sun Events’ app.

Yes I have tried this… in fact I have tried every possible combination of these cards.

thats just so weird, ah well, your workaround works fine too, just make sure that in your location sunrise will never be later than 8 AM (or change that variable)

Ooops… I guess you mean sunrise will always be earlier than 8am

Time and Sunrise happen on different days
