In the morning, POCS will begin starting itself up when the startup horizon is reached (-10deg) but it will have nothing to do until the flat horizon (-5deg). While we could simply adjust the startup horizon to be closer to the flat horizon, it would be better to change things so that weather/scheduling checks are performed before any attempts to open the shutter (otherwise this could drain the shutter battery).
