As I look at my hub location details, I see that it knows where it is (EDT) but is off by two hours on when it thinks sunset is.
What's up with that? It knows today's date, but, even at the Summer Solstice, the sunset is 8:25pm. Why does my hub think sunset is at 9:04pm tonight?
Its hard to make sunrise/sunset rules if the hub doesn't know those times.
A long shot but have you got your actual location set correctly - in Latitude Longitude? The sunrise/sunset time will come from that I think?
Well, well....you were right! I thought I'd set that up, but the hub had assigned a lat/long in the center of the USA and it was right...the sunset time there would have been 9:04pm-MY TIME on the East Coast.
Fixed. Thanks!
I could be hallucinating but I though the settings page at one time had a small map shown with your location pinned.
Absolutely right about that one, but I assume that now that Google charges to companies that use Google Dynamic Maps API, they decided to stop using it since it's for most people a one time setup and forget operation.
Can't speak to the reasoning, though that would make sense.
However, there is an easier way for US and Canada users to set their latitude and longitude: just type in your postal code, and it will fill latitude, longitude, and time zone in for you. They may not be precise to your exact location (maybe city center?), but for most uses, it's probably good enough as long as your time zone is correct. And indeed, most times this would be done once during setup, where the same applies.
