First Rule Manager Rule

🎬 Get Started

I am trying to write my first Rule Manager rule. I have written many Simple Lighting rules and they work GREAT! But this Rule had some conditions that I could not find in Simple Light.

Here is what I would like to do;
If the Door Sensor is Open and the time is between Sunset and Sunrise then turn the Back Yard lights on. But, Disable this rule on 2 dates of the year.

I have got the Door Sensor included in the Rule and placed a Restriction of Between sunset and sunrise. I believe is working.
But, I cannot figure out where I can tell the rule to Disable on the 2 dates. Lets say for an example, July 8th and July 9th.

Is this Disable of the Rule on two dates possible?

Thanks for reading this

One way to do this is to create a virtual switch. Using two separate rules, turn this switch on at 00:00 on July 8th, and turn it off at 00:00 on July 10th.

Then in your rule, under restrictions, use Switch to Disable this rule, and set the switch to the new virtual switch you created.
