Its still anoying that there is a unflexible dropdown in the date / time default should be just an input box .. :-)

I need 14 timers to achive my goal because i cant set it again for 24 hours because the sunset skips under 24 hours.. and the timer is above 24 hours so it will just reset the timer or i have to set a timer that sets all the timers in 12 hours etc etc.. quite complex :-/

Of course my turn on timer can set the turn off the turn off can set the turn on etc..

I think you are talking about the other question you asked? Or you need 14 buttons? And why would you set 240 minutes in seconds?

My project was to turn on my aquarium light - 2 hours before sunset and leave it on for 8 hours.

So I need to start the flow 2 hours before sunset and stop 6 hours after sunset.

I was playing around creating 7 flows for up and 7 for down - but ended up creating 3 flows

But I see now i can change it for 2 flows - since the default when sunset is 120 minutes..

But still it would be good if the build in trigger for sunset could be a number +/- offset..

And if I was able to set the sliders from Tags - then I could simplify even more.
