Hi, thank you for sharing this software. However i don't understand how i can connect the numbers with the sunrise/set times that i get from arduino libraries and my domoticz program, they calculate 8.37 sunrise and 16.30 sunset.

i am using it on a raspberry zero raspbian buster. systemtime reports to be oke. Longitude and latitude are in the config file.

could you give me a hint on what i can do? I also have troubles to understand the +01:00 i see in the rows

Latitude: 51.4000N Longitude: 5.4670W

Have you got your E and W mixed up? The coordinates you've got in that report puts you somewhere off the coast of Wales. Did you mean 5.4670E, as in somewhere around Eindhoven?

The +01:00 syntax is the timezone offset for your location.
