[Enhancement] Mixed solar / fixed time on/off in Timespan mode #70

Closed KaHeMu closed 2 years ago

Hi Fellinga,

First of all thanks a lot for the great work! This is the best Timer UI I have seen in node-red. I use it a lot in my home automation system.

Would it be possible to allow a mix of fixed time on/off and solar event on/off in timespan mode? For example I want to turn on the garden light at sunset and turn it off at 12:00 midnight (fixed time). I know I could achieve this by adding two pairs of overlapping on/off time spans, one with solar events the other with fixed time. But that makes it look quite confusing for a user in the UI. Right now I'm using single event mode with individual ON an OFF events to accomplish the same but I'm missing the refresh feature in single event mode (which makes no sense there, I admit).

Thanks for considering!
