Conditional Switch Turn on - OH3

[ubeaut (Greg)]

If you want to offset the time see here:

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.

The metadata expire is on the item. It is not a rule. Look at the picture I sent earlier. Click on the item and you will see metadata.

If you want to use the hall light for more than 2 minutes then you would have to create a virtual switch and put the metadata on that and then have 2 more rules. One to turn on the hall light when the virtual switch was on and one to turn the hall light off when the virtual switch goes off.
