Native time and sunrise/sunset trigger

[red600]

I would love a native time and sunrise/sunset evaluation trigger. The IFTTT versions of sunrise/sunset trigger is very unreliable.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have found the sunrise/sunset triggers to be rather variable but it’s not quite clear whether that’s due to an IFTTT delay or unreliability with the actual data itself (from Weather Underground or others). We’ll add this to the dev list for consideration anyhow.

Hey @red600 You can now use Sunset and Sunrise as triggers/conditions in Apilio natively! We hope you give it a try

Thanks!

I would like to set the time relative to sunrise and sunset.
For example:
Turn on the light 30 minutes before sunset

Hi @joost.de.bot! Welcome to the community

We have this feature request over here:

Condition that triggers X minutes before sunset/sunrise

We have had a few people request this! They would like to set a condition that is for example 30 minutes before sunset at their preferred location, so the lights in the house can turn on automagically when it starts to get dark. The current workaround is to choose as your preferred location a place in the World where the Sun sets a little bit earlier.

The current workaround is to choose as your preferred location a place in the World where the Sun sets a little bit earlier I hope this might help for now? Thanks!
