Between time-Sunrise event always runs

[user1310]

Update: Probably "fixed", it looks like the Hub just needed to roll through the key times, specifically Sunrise this morning. It now shows "Required expression false" on the Apps summary screen, and doesn't turn on the light when motion is triggered.

Goal: Turn on lights if motion is detected between 4:30am and Sunrise.
Problem: The event always runs when motion is detected, regardless of the time.

What I would do is toggle on the “Use Required Expression” and add “Time between 4:30am and Sunrise” in there.

Then, remove the If condition. Leave the rest as is.

That said, it is obvious in the logs that the time is not between those two variables… It shouldn’t have run…. Curious if it will work better with the change to use Required Expression…?

What Hubitat platform are you using?

Thanks for the tip, but that didn't work. Still triggering on motion outside the specified time...

Delete the rule then recreate and see if it work.

Tried deleting & creating a whole new job, no difference.
