[Solved] when is sunset and sunrise active?

canedje

I do use a trigger based on sunset.

I did find out that sunset is not active anymore after a while (In the night somewhere?) but sunrise is then also not active?

On what  are these variables based?

Sunset and sunrise are moments to be used as triggers. The sun rises at only one moment. If you mean "it's after sunset/sunrise" I presume it's based on the day so probably at 0:00 ?

Sunset is not active any more after 0:00, because Homey recognizes it as a new day

In my opinion sunset is at 16.28 today. The time after 16.28 is “after sunset” and lasts till 0.00 hour.

@Rocodamelshe exactly:)

I think that's true, but not logic.

I did expect that after sunset is until sunrise and not stopping at 0.00 hour.

Because now I can not check on sunset after 0.00 hour

After 0.00 hour it’s the next day aye? Then from 0.01 till sunrise it’s “before sunrise”.

make in better logic a variable "sunset" true/false.  and use them in your flows, works great.
