Sample Rule to Turn on and off Lights when Motion is Detected and its Between Sunset and Sunrise

Just finished this rule and thought I would share.

The motion detector is a Ring Doorbell and the lights are on a GE Z-Wave switch.

Additionally, I delay the lights from coming on for 10 seconds so it doesn’t appear to be activated by the motion detector. I may change this to be longer. The lights then stay on for 5 minutes and are then turned off.

I hope this helps someone.
