How to define thermostat schedules based on daytime and nighttime?

Daytime and nighttime would be defined by the value of the Site Direct Solar Radiation: if it's 0, then it's nightime, if its bigger than zero, then its daytime. Depending on this time difference, the limits for the thermostat schedules would be different as well.

Is this related to the greenhouse? Will it be heated or just ventilated? If it won't be heated. If you do want make thermostat like you describe, you can analyze the epw to come up with the thermostat times, and then create a thermostat schedule based on this.

Thanks for your response! I did exactly that, using the AddIntervalScheduleFromFile measure. The problem was that while reading the CSV file with the thermostat schedule, it would get each value as a string instead of a float (spitting out an error while trying to apply the measure), and so in the measure itself I just added a conversion to a float in the variable that gets every value from each row of the CSV file. It works fine now, thanks!
