Hi Rod, I do have same issue. I am trying to trigger a Heater system based on different periods of the day and temperatures. If we use scene and a second SONOFF device it should be possible, but the scene for some strange reason does not trigger the second device. I read that you should powered the second device from TH16, and keep the second device as "ON" in the "Powe-on State"option. I have not tried yet.
Example 1 (ok)
Temp

Fabio, could explain better your diagram? Or let me know if this is what you mean: e.g.
Example 1 (ok): If temperature > 19 between 19:00@22:00 this will perform "On" in a Sonoff Basic. And this is working. However when you want to perform "Off" it does not?
If the temperature is <= 18 degrees before 20:00, after 20:00 the perform will not be activated. (example 2)
I would like it to activate as in example 3.
Fabio, in my case it is working well. Scene works during their set-up period. In my case I do have the following configuration:
(1) Scene: Trigger "ON" Sonoff 4Ch Pro if TH16 =< 20 between 17:00@24:00
(2) Scene: Trigger "OFF" Sonoff 4Ch Pro if TH16 >=20 between 17:00@24:00
(3) Scene: Schedule at 24:00 Trigger "OFF" Sonoff 4Ch Pro
Then I repeat the same for another period:
(4) Scene: Trigger "ON" Sonoff 4Ch Pro if TH16 =< 20 between 6:30@08:30
(5) Scene: Trigger "OFF" Sonoff 4Ch Pro if TH16 >=20 between 6:30@08:30
(6) Scene: Schedule at 08:30 Trigger "OFF" Sonoff 4Ch Pro
The above scene should work for you too. Just change the hours as you need it.
Strange to me it doesn't work.
With the scene you have set:
if before 17:00 you have a temperature <= 20 degrees and the trigger = Off and the time exceeds 17:00 does the trigger turn On? You've tried?
Of course the optimal definition from eWeLink should be < and >=, and not <= and =>, since it will have the logical mistake for what to do at the same temperature fixed in both condition (my example T>=20 & T<=20). In my case it works fine, maybe because the order of the scene, first check if Temperature is lower that setup value, then it triggers the action to "On", then if the Temperature reach the setup value triggers the action to "Off". See the enclosed screenshot.
Sorry, I forgot the rest of the screenshot.

If you build a scene as in the image.
If after 20:00 the temperature drops below 18 ° C the perfome is executed.
If at 20:00 the teperature detected by the TH16 is <= 18 ° C the perform is not performed.
In my opinion when you enter the time set in effective period you need to check "Condition" and if TRUE execute "Perform".
Thanks.
