My forum

I'm using Telldus Live (with Tellstick Net and Nexa switches) and would like to create a schedule that turns a lamp on during the dark hours, but not between midnight and 6 in the morning. That is, it should be lit in the evening, and in the morning, while it is still dark.

So, I create a schedule like this:
- ON at sunset.
- OFF at midnight.
- ON at 06.00.
- OFF at sunrise.

This works well in the winter, but at this time of the year (in Sweden), the sun rises well before 06.00. So, in effect, my lamp is on all day between 06.00 and midnight.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks!

Maybe you have to have 2 schedules instead of one ?

If you can live with it I'd suggest adding a fixed time off at 09.00 (or whenever you want it to be).
This will make the light go off at sunrise but at the latest 09.00.
Not the optimal solution but it beats having the light on all day.
