Trigger events after sunset

Post by FourFootPaul »

I'm out and about at the moment so can't dig in to my eventghost installation, but had an idea...

I currently mainly use eventghost to receive IR signals from a media centre remote and turn lights on/off via a telldus tellstick, all works fine.

What I want to do is when eventghost receives the IR signal to turn on my TV, have it turn on lights via the tellstick (I can already do this bit) - BUT only after sunset and before sunrise - this is the bit I don't know about - is it possible? I.E. if the TV is turned on during the day, I don't want it to turn on the lights. If it is, can you give some clues as to the setup?

Thanks
