ahh ok got it! @DaneeDeKruyff this is why i hope this will be a feature in a later firmware..
And as everyone knows sunset is not every day on the same time so this work-arround is not the best solution

Sunset/rise changes max 4-5min a day.

Maybe its more useful to check lux values and make 3 flows;
1. if lux <100 then "start dark flow"
2. if sunset then "start dark flow"

"start dark flow"
3. livingsroom/garden lights on, close sunscreen(s), close curtains, etc.

This is propper Light controlling, on a rainy Day u want lights to go on sooner couse it will be dark by the time sunset starts specialy in the winter months

If i would like to use the lux value, do i need a fibaro z-wave FGMS-001? or are there other ways?
Can the FGMS-001 be directly connected with homey or do i need a base unit from fibaro?

You can connect it directly to homey, but there are some problems with z-wave as you can read on this forum (and github,slack)

The FGMS works now...

Here is a way of doing it that survives a reboot: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/15118/#Comment_15118

It requires the BetterLogic app though.

Which doesn't work in 0.8.34 (at least, you can't add new variables). But 0.8.35 has just been born, just has to be shown to us, obedient citizens

hoping they will release it to us soon
