I am new to Node Red, and I am using it to automate my existing Home Assistant automations.
I am looking to achieve a fairly simple automation for you guys out there..
I have created a sequence where a Binary Motion Sensor triggers a scene within Home Assistant, and then turns off after 10mins after no motion.. it all works perfectly..
...BUT....
I want to add a timing complexity to the sequence.
In Home Assistant I have used the datetime helpers to set times during the day for all my automations, as below:(these are a few)
A) input_datetime.daytime_start
B) input_datetime.daytime_end
C) input_datetime.afternoon_start
D) input_datetime.afternoon_end
for example:
If the sequence is triggered between the time input in A and B, i want to Call service scene.turn_on (scene1)
and
If the sequence is triggered between the time input in C and D, i want to Call service scene.turn_on (scene2)
If anyone can help I would very much appreciate it.
The point behind it all, is that I would like to be able to change the HA helpers in one place and then ALL my automations update. I wish to do this as my days and times change regularly and irregularly.
Thank you all in Advance
