Blockes rule to open rollershutter

[jackmenimble (Angelo)]

Hi Guys,

I trying to create a blockly rule to open the rollershutter with sunrise but not earlier then 7.30 am.
Have somebody an idea how to do that?

Thank you!

1. Configure the sunrise event Channel with the “earliest” property set to 7:30.
2. Choose this event Channel to trigger your rule
3. Send the command to the Item as required

You could use 2 simple rules. One rule to open at sunrise, but condition it on being later than 7:29AM. Second rule to run on cron at 7:30AM to check if roller shutter is open, and if not open it.

How to configure the sunrise event channel at 7:30?

[Larsen (Locke)]

Something like this:

• Install the Astro binding
• Add an Astro thing (sun)
• Go to the sunrise channel of this thing and create an item for start time
• select configure channel and choose earliest time
• in you rule select time event as trigger
• select time specified in an item state
• select your created sunrise item

Similar to this:

CivilDusk Time Offset

Use the astro binding. Configure the range event for sunset: [image] Then create an offset time for that event by using the configure channel. [image] Then create a rule to trigger at the event started for the set#event [image] Set the START or END of the event trigger otherwise the rule will fire twice (START and END) [image] If you wanted to use the range event for civil dusk you just do the same as above but instead of sunset event range you use the civil dusk event range.
