Sunrise to early! #69

Closed stheinen closed 3 years ago

stheinen commented 3 years ago

The sunrise is triggered today at 7:23am and not at 8:23am CET. The timezone on my raspberry time is Europe/Berlin and the clock is set to the corret local time.

The hard schedule in the light scheduler is ok. Only the calculcation of dawn and sunrise seems to use a wrong time setting.

I am using red node within iobroker. Does anybody else have this problem as well?

I do, so I stopped using LS. I was using Bigtimer next to it to check sunrise/sunset, bt was always spot on. LS sometimes, and some times an hour early (but not always).

The one hour problem smells like a Daylight Savings Time related problem.

I would suggest that you check the "Show sun elevation in status" checkbox and compare the value shown with the threshold you have set.

The sun elevation will then show under the node like this:

Besides this, double check the clock, time zone and DST settings on your machine.

Let me know how it turns out!
