Geofence and time of day

[jckinneman]

Is there a way to specify a time of day for the enter command to execute?  I'd like to turn on my driveway light on when I come home and it is dark out.

The Geofence can trigger a program that could evaluate the time of day and fire or not fire as needed. It's not built into the app ability at this point. Not sure if it's on the future upgrade process, but easiest way is to trigger a program.

Makes sense, I'll give it a try

@jckinneman  You need a program(s) and there are multiple approaches:  some might use a structure like this:

If
         Geofence triggered
AND time is sunset
     to Sunrise (next day)
then
        Turn on driveway light
else
         (nothing)

or break it into two programs

If
        Geofence triggered
then
        Run Program2 (if)
else
        (nothing)

Program2  (must be disabled)
If
       time is Sunset
       to Sunrise (next day)
then
       turn on driveway light.

 

I mention both methods because some people have  difficultly getting the first method to work.  The second method also is easier to follow logic wise somethings.  Note: disabled programs still run when run by another program or run manually.
