Dawn, dusk and 23:00 timer

Hallo all

What is the best way to make a timer, there turn light OFF at dawn and ON at dusk, but set it to 10% at 23:00 ?

When I use bigtimer, I only have on or off. and then I have to use a "time range" node.

are there a better way ?

The CRON+ node is, without doubt, the most flexible of the many scheduling nodes and can do everything you are asking.

WOW...thx alot.... love it

I cant get it to work whit a "inject" node to get status. Do you know if I can do that ?

The help info for the node tells you how:

yes, I have try it, but I cant get it to work

Okay, I had also come to that conclusion.

But what I can't with "CRON+", as I can with the "BigTimer", is the ability to send an "inject" node with "payload auto" and have it send out the signal I need.

When I do that with CRON+ and use "trigger-all" or some of the others, it sends out all three signals even though I only need the current one.

I would like to have a button that I can press, and it simply sends a signal through the CRON+ node, and then it outputs the result depending on the time of day.

I'd probably do that with one of the gate nodes. Use CRON+ or similar to open/close the gate at the appropriate times then have your inject direct to the gate.

okay...

The is my best...
