Feature request: Date/Time time range in flow

aloftaloft Member
edited February 2016 in Questions & Help
I'd like to have an extra option to have a timerange, e.g. that a flow is only progressing to then if it is between 09:00-12:00.  (or between sunset-sunrise etc ) 

Also, please use a setting to allow time in in 24h format instead of 12 AM/PM format

    Can't you simply do:  "if [time is after 9 am] AND [time is before 12 am] then ..." ?

    Time ranges should work (as far as i read on the forum) or better said;
    It was requested multiple times and i think its a must have features.

    So if its not there, that would be very disappointing.

    Yesterday I tried creating a flow for turning on the light: when motion detected on weekdays between 6 and 7, turn on light
    That's pretty complicated, you need 3 cards in the When column for that.
    A time range would simplify that a lot.

    You can use the 24h format now. Type it in the card direct.

    @Fire69
    In the when... column you can only have one trigger card.

    @Fire69 ; how do you detect after 6 pm and before 7 pm ?  I only have 'time is' cards, not time after/before. 
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    Sorry, forgot to mention this. 
    It's strange, when you slide the time/date card in the When column you have different option than when you put it in the And column... 
    So I have:
    When:
    motion detected
    And:
    - Day Is Not Weekendday
    - Time is later than 6
    - Time is earlier than 7
    Then:
    Turn on light

    OK, indeed, in the 'and' column you'll get more options. That works for me! Thanks for the feedback.

    If someone plans on changing the time to 24h then I would strongly ask to keep an option, maybe in some system-wide setting to either be AM-PM or 24h, I very much prefer AM, and I'm sure all the American backers would also prefer it

    As far as i understand @TheoDeKoning both AM/PM and 24h is possible. Default is AM/PM but you can type 24h notation in the time-tag field.

    @MarcoF ;
    That was still in version 0.8.14. For the moment I can't check it out.

    I'm not really sure if its just me, but it seems to me to following is not working:
    I want to do something between 7:00PM and 6:00AM.

    I use the card "time is between"
    7:00PM : 6:00AM

    The information tells me the following:
    When the second time is earlier then the first time it's considered the next day.

    So this should work.... but it doesn't! Its 4:23am now, and the statement turns "not true".
    If I invert to "time is NOT between" the statement at 4:23am is true... why?


    I think I know what is happening, but it is rather confusing:

    7:00PM -> 6:00am = false @ 4:00am (this is what I want)
    11:00am -> 5:00am = false @ 4:00am
    12:00am -> 5:00am = true @ 4:00am
    1:00am -> 5:00am = true @ 4:00am

    I think what is happening here... it is "considered the next day" as in, "this is FALSE because this is a time in the next day and not this day".

    Shouldn't this actually work? as giving a earlier time in the second window always means you want to go over night with this statement?
