[Uncloak2]

Describe your request

Sorry if this already exists but I didn't see anything as somone new to HA but I am new so...

Home / Away (zones) seems to exist but no native Night mode?

Why the uncertainty?

No response

Use cases

Alarmo and other alternatives exists but I'd like to see a native night mode built in.

What areas might this affect?

Anything else?

Could you please elaborate a bit more, what you're expecting from a night mode? So what should it do or what should it be used for?

Just a time zone basically. If time zone = between x and y, do z. Could be used to arm alarm systems as well.

you can achieve this quite easy with the schedule helper - just define the night times for each weekday, then use it in your automations as needed

I think it will help people to switch easier from Samsung SmartThings.

Could you please explain this more detailed? What is the advantage of an additional "night mode" over an already existing common method (schedule helper)?
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to argue with you, rather than I trying to understand the need or use case of this additional feature, which couldn't be easily solved with already existing features.
