Well I tried the piece of code at the bottom,  and it started filling
up the logs with "chrislights turned on" statments each second.  I
need to find a way to only check every 10 mins.

I asked the original question on the Misterhouse forum and never
received any answer.

if (time_between ("$Time_Sunset - 3:23"),("9:55 PM")) {
  set $chrislights ON;
  speak " chrislights turned on"
}
