TimeLapse Start and End At times #88

Closed malialis closed 3 years ago

malialis commented 6 years ago

Hello.

Thank you for all your work and amazing program.

This is no an issue more of a request of feature if possible. If you could possible add a EndAt time feature for the TimeLapse.

The StartAt time works good.

I have tried the noNightShots, but my issue is that since it is winter and the days are really short it makes the time range not work well. I would like it to start at 8 am and go till about 8pm. but it does not get light enough now till about 9ish. Even if I say startAt 8, no photos will be taken till it is bright enough.

Sorry for the long winded story.

thank you so much for all your hard work.

I will look at your request. NoNightShots = True would force only day shots between end of twilight in morning and start of twilight in the evening. That means It is based on the light level rather than time since sunset and sunrise times change every day. It is possible to change the config.py nightTwilightThreshold = 90 valuel to adjust light level for triggering start and end of day. I think default value is 90 but you could try setting it to 50. I would recommend you do this in a plugin to avoid messing up the default config.py settings. This might mess up the light levels in at sunset and sunrise since it would force camera to day auto settings.
