time range verification

[Frank68]

Hello

I'm trying with a script to check if I'm within a certain time frame, which crosses midnight.

In practice, if I am in the range between 20.00 and 06.00 the next day I must have true.

then I will replace the fixed values with settable values, which way to follow?

Thanks so much

Here's an exerpt where I'm checking if the time is between 0200 and 0700 hours, you can modify this to do what you need. 

now = os.date('*t')
time = {hour = now.hour,}

if time.hour > 2 and time.hour < 7 then *do stuff*
else  *do stuff*
end

The above example is correct but if you also need minutes in the range then check this example: https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthrea...1#pid21201
