Automation Smart Value check if {{now}} between 9:00 am to 4:30 pm PST update a custom filed to True

[David Lam]

I'm working on an automation task and need to set a condition to update a custom field to true if the current time is between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM PST. However, I've encountered an issue: when the current time is 1:00 PM, the condition returns false.

Here is my setup for the automation:

{{now.convertToTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles").shortTime}}

Thanks

Hi @David Lam 

Welcome to the community!

Try working with 24H format instead.

{{now.convertToTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles").format("HH")}}

Then you can use is greater than 9 and is less than 17.

Best regards
