Hi everyone,
I’m always getting confused when working with sunset values in conditions. Could somebody explain to me please, why this automation fired this morning?
This is what I get from looking at the last execution:
Executed: 4. April 2024 at 06:18:54
Result:
result: true
conditions/0
Executed: 4. April 2024 at 06:18:54
Result:
wanted_time_before: ‘2024-04-04T05:02:09.601426+00:00’
wanted_time_after: ‘2024-04-04T17:31:11.239111+00:00’
result: true
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: sun
after: sunset
after_offset: ‘-00:45:00’
My goal was: this automation is executed only when it’s dark, meaning from 45min before the sun goes down until sunrise.
The 'wanted_time’s are looking good: from 0 until 05:02 and then again from 17:31 until 0.
But this one was executed at 06:18 and I do not know why. Ok, maybe I have to add one hour, because I live in central Europe. Or do I have to add two hours because of summer time?
Thanks a lot in advance
