Running rule only on specific daytime.

---

I have following rule:

if humidity of Keller Sensor is greater or equal than 42 for 15 minutes and state of Schlafmodus is equal to off and [saturday to sunday 12:00-18:00 or monday to friday 10:00-18:00]

As you maybe can read out of it i want to trigger an event if “humidity” of the sensor “Keller Sensor” is over 42 for 15 minutes and the state of the device “Schlafmodus” is off and it is between 12:00-18:00 O’clock on weekends or between 10:00-18:00 o’clock on weekdays.

The Part in the brackets about the time seems to be not working correctly. Does anybode have an idea what’s the correct syntax for this?

just tryed something like this

if [[[saturday to sunday] and [12:00-18:00]] or [[monday to friday] and [10:00-21-18:00]]]

to much brackets for the code block?

I am not sure but you can try this.

if humidity of Keller Sensor is greater or equal than 42 for 15 minutes and state of Schlafmodus is equal to off and [[saturday to sunday and after 12:00 and before 18:00] or [monday to friday and after 10:00 and before 18:00]]

oh you guys understand me wrong i’m searching for the equal of:

* 10-18 * * 1-5
* 12-18 * * 6-7

@Oitzu
hmm maybe to mach brackets for the codeblock? Here a picture…

Most probably saturday to sunday 12:00-18:00 does not work. There is no simple solution yet. The best would to use a variable weekend and set it to 1 at saturday 00:00 and to 0 at monday 00:00 and rewrite the rule to:

[$weekend = 1 and its after 12:00 and before 18:00]

okay, thanks a lot. I will try this.

But what happens when restarting pimatic on saturday? i think the variable will be zero again.

@fips21 you can use “every 5 minutes” or something else for that in your rule. this would lead pimatic to validate the rule conditions every 5 minutes.

every 5 minutes and [$weekend = 1 and its after 12:00 and before 18:00]

thanks. in the meantime i created another rule that additionally checks the condition at startup:

pimatic is starting and [its saturday or its sunday]

May be you can try

if [[[saturday or sunday] and [12:00-18:00]] or [[monday or tuesday or wednesday or thursday or friday] and [10:00-18:00]]]

I have a bad feeling that the ‘to’ is not working.
