Blockly use actual time

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
#1

Hey there,

i am quite new to OH3 and blockly and want to set a light to “ON” if the lux of a brightness sensor is smaller than 125lx AND it is a time between 4pm and 11pm.

Could you guys give me a hint how i could achieve the time thing?

Cheers, Nic
