Need Answer

Hi im still new to the Zipato and rule creating.


My goal here is to make a rule the says when the alarm is disarmed the lights outside the cabbin wil turn on when the dusk sensor says dusk. and of when it says dawn,

I have made two rules, see the attachment,

Am i wrong here ? it does not seem to work.


does it need to be much more advanced then this ?


After this i also would like to make a rule tat says when the alarm is armed the motion detector outside will turn on the light when dusk and motion is detected.. but need to get this working first.

Is the dusk to dawn sensor reporting in the event log?


I don't own such a sensor myself, but there has been similar questions about luminance sensors before. Maybe you need to trigger on ANY change and use an if test.

Yes it works when i used another rule Simple rule just to activate the lights and turn of, that works geat.

But this is a cabbin so i dont wont the lights on when im not there, the thought is to to disarm the alarm when i get there and the light wil work with the dusk dawn sensor when im on the cabbin, now i need to log in and disable the rule i use, (cant do that on the app)


The old rule is disabled
