Conditions not being followed?

[rosslavallee]

Am I missing something? I have set a rule, for if the back door opens, only during sunset-sunrise, it turns on my patio lights. But it turns them on anyway.

Do I have to use a IF-THEN condition instead?

Manage or Create Conditions is just a holding place for your conditions. You must include them in your Actions for them to do anything. Add an IF-THEN or a simple condition to your rule then select one of your defined conditions.

Your rule indicates that you have created a condition, but haven't used that condition in a conditional statement (either IF .... END-IF, or Simple Conditional).

Thank you both! I've intergrated them in and now it all works!
