Time of Day Scripting

[dlmtechnology 4]

So I don't know much about scripting in whatever language CV is using, my programing knowledge comes from Turbo Pascal learned in the 90s and BASIC back on an Atari 800 in the 80s  so forgive me here but I'm assuming there is some sort of IF THEN statement that I can use in .cvaction files that basically says  If its after 9pm set my hue lights to this color temperature, otherwise use this one.  I just don't know what that code looks like.

During the day I like my lights in a Daylight color temperature, and at night to help ya sleep by reducing the "blue light" having my bulbs be a Warm White light, so after a movie ends I'd like to set the action to turn on the lights to a warm white temperature if its after a certain time when the script is ran, otherwise use my daylight temp.

To build on what Ragnarok said, what are you running cv on? What Home Automation are you on?  If you are using OpenHAB you should be able to achieve what you are doing using the guide I wrote found here:  

 as well as this thread discussing making decisions based on Time of Day. https://community.openhab.org/t/making-decisions-based-on-time-of-day/2262/2

There aren't any available boolean statements in Actions yet, but that is on our list of things to add, and will be coming soon(ish). You can do this in a way that's a bit less user friendly. Right now, CinemaVision can read and execute any kind of shell script and Python script. If there's a way to manipulate your home automation using one of those methods, you could have it check the time and set the color accordingly, then just have the Action file call the script you write.
