The sunset/sunrise trigger ‘offsets’ GUI option is confusing to newcomers like me - the field hint suggests that the offset is specified as hh:mm:ss, but if I specify ‘-15:00’, the actual offset applied is 15 hours, not 15 minutes as I would have expected. It is also not clear if the offset is before or after sunset from the UI (though it is spelled out in the docs).
One way to make this easier to understand is to have the parsed value displayed as “15m before sun set” instead of “When the sun sets offset by -15:00”. That would give instantaneous feedback to the user setting this up.
There could also be a radio button or dropdown to select if the offset is applied before or after the event.

Well, the one here won’t be seen by people to consider your idea. Just close this one and post there if you think it’s a good idea.
Personally I think that not wanting to follow the syntax is not likely to get anywhere, but you could try. I would expect you would hear that it works as expected.
