I'm trying to move these date range conditions into chronological order. I can't for the life of me see how to change that ELSE-IF to an IF. I've tried several times and I'm missing it.
There might be another way but I would add the new IF statement above it and delete the ELSE-IF

Yep, same here. I always just recreate-&-replace conditionals in situations like this. Perhaps there's some slick way to edit them accordingly, but a brute-force do-over is just easier for me to whip out.

It's odd that the actions listed below the identified ELSE-IF are not indented. See how further down the Set colors are indented? I suspect something is wrong and the ELSE-IF should be replaced like has been suggested.
My guess is that line was cut/pasted from somewhere lower down into the first position, and this current arrangement just hasn't been saved yet.
But, yeah, if that's not true, something else is amiss.

Yea, just delete the ELSE-IF. The condition will be available from the list when creating the IF condition.
The second IF should also be deleted and a new ELSE-IF created in its place with the same condition.

I was moving things around which explains the lack of indenting.

Even with copy/paste and cut/paste the indenting happens when an IF is pasted. Something else was amiss.

Thanks, I got the ELSE-IF syntax down. Then it occurred to me that I want to shut off these lights at dawn. I added the two actions circled in red. Is that the correct way to handle this?
-Thanks again
I might be missing something but it looks good to me
With the rule as written, on days that are NOT in the specified ranges (such as any days May-Sept), no lights will be turned on here (but will still be turned off at sunrise if they are turned on elsewhere). You may want to consider an ELSE section just before the END-IF to catch days not in your specified intervals.
I don't anticipate that being a problem but I see your point.
-Thanks
