Confused about light turning on even though it shouldn't

1

I have a light that I want to turn on in the morning at 7:20 and if its 30 minutes before sunrise because its still light enough outside that it does not need to be turned on.

alias: Turn on E27 1 In the morning

Today the sunrise was at 07:24 and my light still turned on at 07:20! What am I not getting?

I think the offset needs to be negative if you want it to be 30 minutes before sunrise. (Otherwise it will add 30 minutes)

before_offset: '-00:30:00'

Hmm then what does the radii buttons do?

You can define an offset for “before sunrise” and you can define an offset for “after sunrise”.
This offset can be positive (so it will be added to the point in time) or negative (so it gets subtracted from the point in time). Also see here.
