As the title says, I want a program to run at sunset, but only for a set number of days. Lets assume I want to turn on some lights at sunset, and off at midnight on those same days. I want this to happen for a month. I have a pair of responses to control the lights at the times, but cannot figure out what is the best way to trigger them. I can set a sunset response, but that will get triggered every day, all year. I can use a time program to run at a given time when its a holiday. The problem with this is, the time program happens at a given time which is great for the midnight turn off, but not for sunset. Also the holidays are single days, not for a duration of days. Add to this, there are only 24 holiday entries. If I could figure out how I can check which holiday has triggered my event I could set two holidays, one at the start and the other at the end, and then set or clear a flag that the sunset & midnight responses could check. since I can't see a way to do this though, whats the best way to achieve what I am after ? Cheers, john.
