OS - Shading control: multiple strategies?

Hi all,

I'm working with OpenStudio and I know that I can add shading control strategies for windows, for example when incident radiation reaches certain value. Now, how could I combine this strategy with another one to completely close an interior blind (or blackout) during sleep hours on a bedroom (this one would work with a schedulle)?

I know I can do one or the other but... how to set up both strategies for the same windows simultaneously? I already tried to drag two shading controls on the same sub-surface but the second replaces the first.

Thanks for the advice!
