You mean, like...
WHENEVER (some event occurs)
AND TIME OF DAY IS LATER THAN 7:30 AM
AND TIME OF DAY IS EARLIER THAN 5:00 PM
THEN (execute the rule steps)

This doesn't work, have a read of this at elk. It should be broken down into two rules
eg
WHENEVER (some event occurs)
AND TIME OF DAY IS LATER THAN 5:00 PM
THEN (execute the rule steps)
WHENEVER (some event occurs)
AND TIME OF DAY IS EARLIER THAN 7:30 AM
THEN (execute the rule steps)
Hi,
Actually in this case the original rule will work because what killervette is after is a rule that executes during the day. The rule that you have posted is the opposite, a rule that executes during the night. In that case you would need two rules; the first to cater for the time period before midnight and the second to cater for the time period after midnight.

Correct. In the Northern Hemisphere, we do it the first way.
