Hi,

I'm using node red with home assistant to switch on my home lights when I'm not at home.

I was using a time range node, set to Start Time 7:00 and End Time SunriseEnd.

This worked pretty well until recently, when SunriseEnd happens before 7:00, which now means the Timerange node gives true almost the entire day and night, with 2am lights in my room switching on when my phone disconnects from wifi... 🤣

What option do i have to return true if currenttime is between 7am and SunriseEnd, only when SunriseEnd is later than 7am?

Thanks!

Thanks

Tom
