Possible to mix preconditions 'Sunset/Sundown' and 'Time'?

[Speedyconnalis (Tom)]

Using a ‘daylight’ (brighter white) and ‘nighttime’ scene (more cozy light), activated by Hue switch button with the precondition on Sunset/Sundown. Works great, however, the sleeping rooms of the kids should go to ‘daylight’ scene after sunset when pressing the switch button and to ‘nighttime’ mode after 18:30 (no matter if that is before or after sundown).

Currently I have to choose to set up the dimmer button with precondition sunset/sundown OR timebased. Can that be combined so I can choose a mix of both?

Thanks for the response in advance!

Conditions cannot be combined at the moment. It is on the wish list for future development. See the following topic for updates:

Nested multiple press and on/off conditions

Apologies if this has been discussed before and I missed it - I’ve had a hard time searching for this. I might also just be missing something in the app, but is it possible to nest conditions? Specifically the multiple press and on/off conditions. I have e.g. a Lutron Aurora which has a single button. On the first press, I’d like that button to active a scene if the lights are off, and turn the lights off if they are on. The second press I’d like to always activate a different scene. It seems li…

You can now use multiple conditions for the automations in Hue Essentials.

In addition, there is now a simple toggle action, so you no longer need to use group on state conditions for just a simple toggle.

For more details on the automations see: Automation in Hue Essentials

Let me know what you think about it.

Great work @Thomas ! Plaid around with it a bit but will experiment more later!
