Sunrise and sunset triggers: does it work with you?

JonJon Member
edited April 2016 in Questions & Help
I have set a couple of flows with the trigger 'Sunrise started...', 'Sunrise ended...', and the same for sunset. To be really sure that the flow runs, I let send a push notification to my mobile as a proof.
Test works fine.
However, in real life it doesn't work. I do not see the flow running neither do I receive a push notification.
And no, there are no other triggers than only 1 per flow (of the 4 above mentioned).

Now if I replace the 'sunrise' / 'sunset' triggers by a defined hour/minute, then the flows work fine.
Anyone who knows what causes the problem?

    It's a known issue (and has been for a while). 

    See https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/182.

    Have 0.8.34 since yesterday, rebooted couple of times. Sunrise and sunset still not working. Does it work on your device with 0.8.34?
  • DaneeDeKruyffDaneeDeKruyff Member
    @thayoung1 did you change your triggers? For me 0.8.34 is the first one that triggers on sunrise. No sunset yet because I changed my flows after sunset yesterday, will know more in an hour or so.
  • thayoung1thayoung1 Member
    I did change the trigger card (saw that begin / end was removed). Let's test it together in a couple of hours ;)

    Looking...
  • thayoung1thayoung1 Member
    Just got the Push message Sunset :)
  • posthokposthok Member
    First time using sunset/sunrise is always workin. The second day not, although this was in version 8.32. 
    Look like there is no reset for the folowing day.
  • DaneeDeKruyffDaneeDeKruyff Member
    Well, didn't receive anything, when I tried to logon to my homey I found out it's offline :( Everthing else is reachable, so won't be able to report anything sensible about the sunrise and sunset triggers untill I'm near my homey :(
  • ThijsDeJongThijsDeJong Member
    Worked, Will inform tomorrow morning again.
  • GeurtDijkerGeurtDijker Member
    It works again, maybe triggered twice, have to look at it why I got 2 push msg.
  • p0ntsp0nts Member
    Bought myself a fibaro motion sensor instead, checking with lux value now instead of sunrise.
  • thayoung1thayoung1 Member
    No push message this morning . State of this issue seems to be the same as 0.8.32 (not fixed). I thought it was fixed because it was mentioned on Slack (https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/21722/#Comment_21722).

    Sunset yesterday evening and this morning worked here.
  • gerbenzgerbenz Member
    Worked here too sunset
    now lookibg for toonight without reboot
  • MartijnDeRhoterMartijnDeRhoter Member
    Both sunset and sunrise have worked since the install of 0.8.34, no reboots yet :)
  • thayoung1thayoung1 Member
    Can't test it. App doesn't seem to work (get a GUID on my screen / no devices) and storing the date/time in a new betterlogic var is also not an option because betterlogic isn't working on 0.8.34 (cannot save new variables). :'( 

    Anybody an idea? 
  • gerbenzgerbenz Member
    Sunset also here working without reboot

    Now you mentioned it, yesterday also no sunset trigger..... the day before it was triggered and the flows said; "sunset ends, lights on".

    But have to say I was working on/with Homey so maybe it was rebooting/crashed on the sunset time....

    De sunset / sunrise triggers seem to work for me on 0.8.34.

    By the way  does somebody know how to trigger an action at half an hour before sunset?
    Of course I could use a delay of 23 and a half hours to trigger it the next day, but I would rather use some kind of variable.

    They are working for me also, have a question though. 
    Is there a way to turn on the lights 30 minutes before sunset?
  • MartijnDeRhoterMartijnDeRhoter Member
    Delay it by 23.5 hours.

    Sorry i don't follow that, wat do you mean?
  • MarcoFMarcoF Member
    If you delay it 23,5 hours, then the next day the flow end 30 min. before sunset. With the great workaround you will be abele to run something XX min "before" (actually after) sunset.
  • posthokposthok Member
    Set the sunset trigger and delay the lights on trigger 23,5 hours. This way your lights turn on an half hour before sunset.
