Hey guys I've got the following in mind and I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I want to have a scheduled lighting with starting time according to the sunset. So nothing special so far, there are plenty of nodes that do this. But for the end time I want another condition which i…

Ok, first thought: Have a small flow: Inject node sending message to enquire if the TV is on. If the TV is on, set a context variable. Better idea: (Oh, bigtimer is the one you want for sunset. I know it is overkill for what you want, but it offers future compatibility when your flow expands.…

node-red-contrib-cron-plus is also a very popular user choice, which is very easy to use & offers a wide range of solar events and can easily be offset (for example switch on 10 minutes before/after sunset). [twilight]

Thx for your input and your work. I looked at bigtimer and indeed it offers a lot and the possibility to send overrides seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. On a closer look the manual override disables the schedule function completely until the beginning of the next schedule. This could me…

[image] Enrico: On a closer look the manual override disables the schedule function completely until the beginning of the next schedule. Yes, it could, but from where I am: you are going about it in the wrong way. You would use bigtimer (or other) only to turn ON the tv. Turning it OFF woul…

Understood. but then there is another thing. Your flow would turn the light off (it's about the light; the tv is only the additional condition) regardless of the time. As longs as sunset has been and tv is not running it will send the OFF comand. But I want a minimum time according to a schedule. So…

CRON+ allows you to have a mixture of fixed (by date/time or solar events) and dynamic (by incoming msg) events. The dynamic events can be saved so that they work on restart of node-red/device and can be changed dynamically as well. No need for different scheduler nodes. I've finally gotten round t…

After a bit of trying around I found the bigtimer suits the best. But I couldn't get it running without some function nodes: [{"id":"b628e0d0.36176","type":"tab","label":"Flurlicht","disabled":false,"info":""},{"id":"da4683b1.3e11c","type":"bigtimer","z":"b628e0d0.36176","outtopic":"","outpayload1…

OK, as I said there might be an easier solution and with regard to my limited knowledge this seems to be the easiest solution I can find. Anyway it is at least a working solution. [{"id":"da4683b1.3e11c","type":"bigtimer","z":"b628e0d0.36176","outtopic":"","outpayload1":"1","outpayload2":"0","name"…

It is good to see you are trying, Small thing: Please don't include foreign nodes. People don't have them and it confuses the issue. Better to add an empty function node with comments. Ok, first off, this part of the code: [{"id":"d0354258.de774","type":"switch","z":"b628e0d0.36176","name"…

(Sorry for multiple posts/replies) Ok, here is my effort at the truth table you need: (Oh, it is not really accurate, but it will give you a better understanding of what you want to do) (Actually it is wrong as a truth table.... but) LIGHT: 0 or 1 TV: 0 or 1 SUNSET until 22:00 (nominal) 0 o…

There is another problem I have just seen.

The bigtimer node is sending a 2 as its output, and I don't understand why or how.
