What time is "sunset"?

[tquadrat]

Or, when it comes to that, what time is "sunrise"?

Of course, the exact times are changing from day to day, but that is not the question …

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset) "the time of actual sunset is defined in astronomy as two minutes before the upper limb of the Sun disappears below the horizon". But there are other definitions of Sunset ("civil dusk", "nautical dusk", "astronomical dusk"); I understood that the English language makes clear distinctions here, but those got lost in translation to other languages.

So please: which time is used by the Shelly components as "sunset"?

I would also like to know how the shelly cloud defines the sunset/sunrise specific times.

e.g. like if you check https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/ , how is "sunrise" defined? As the end of
* Night:
* Astronomical Twilight:
* Nautical Twilight:
* Civil Twilight:

or where does it download the specific time from?

Thanks

specific time

If I was interested, I would create an action.

Something like turn the light on for 5 minutes and check the switching times the next day with your linked page.

But make sure that the coordinates you set up match your place of residence, the automatic setting is not suitable

When it comes to the time zone with sunset and sunrise. 

if it's a standard account it uses the location of the device and the time zone. The time zone of your account can be found in the settings tab. But you can also adjust the location of the device under the settings of the device under "Geolocation and time zone" 

When users have a premium account then it uses the weather location further reading link below

Hope this information helps

to be more exact: each individual device should have its position set , figure if you have many devices in different places .... (main residence and office and summer residence ...)
