Programming light for garage

[McSmarty]

I am the Card Access relay on my garage with Lutron lighting system and have a programming question.  If it is after sunset and before 1am my garage exterior light is on at 50%.  When garage door opens if it is night time want the light go to 100% and 5 minutes after it shuts it to go back to 50% if before 1am and off if after 1am.  Is there a way I can poll that status prior to going to 100% so it knows what level to go back to?  I thought about a conditional variable saying go to 50% if after sunset but prior to 1am but couldn't figure how to nest the conditional in that way.  How should i approach this?

 

Current programming which will shut off the light instead of going back to 50%

When garage door is opened

If time is night time

Turn garage exterior light on

 

When garage door is closed

Delay 5 minutes

Turn off garage exterior light

Try something line this

Current programming which will shut off the light instead of going back to 50%

When garage door is opened

If time is night time

Turn garage exterior light on

When garage door is closed

Delay 5 minutes

If between whatever time

Set light to 50 percent

Stop

Turn off garage exterior light

Then have a scheduler turn off the light at x time.

Not exactly the same, but maybe this will give you some ideas.

 

We have lights on the patio which go on at sunset and go off at 2300.

My wife likes to take an after dinner nap starting at 1900 so wanted the lights to go off then.

The problem is that sunset happens after 1900 part of the year.

 

My solution:

7pm scheduler set to turn lights off at 1900, set variable OffBecause7pm to True.

Noon scheduler to set variable OffBecause7pm to False.

Sunset scheduler: If OffBecause7pm==False, turn on lights.

11pm scheduler set to turn lights off.

 

For what its worth...
