Switch at sunset - add offset & also show in Lights & Switches?

[JDRoberts]

I’m not quite sure what the issue is: creating a custom smartapp with offset won’t remove the light from a Lights and Switches Shortcut. They just become two parallel means of control. But perhaps I’m not understanding something?

Meanwhile, I did want to mention that there is an offset option built in to Hello Home Actions, which might be the fastest solution.

Leave the Shortcut group as is.
Set up a parallel Hello Home Action with the offset, including whatever individual lights you like.
Done.

This is one of the differences between shortcuts and hello home actions.

Shortcut Groups vs Hello Home Actions

This could all change in the future, but as of March 2015 there are a few functionality differences between Shortcut Groups and Hello Home Actions I thought it would be helpful to document. Please add more if you know of them. All of the following apply to features of the standard mobile app, not custom code. Trigger after inaction on motion sensor: Available through SG, not available in HHA Turn off after a specified number of minutes available in SG, not HHA Trigger a light from a motion sensor you can do this in both, but they have different names. In a shortcut group, it is “turn on when there is motion.” In HHA, it is “turn on when things start happening” and for the HHA, it is only available if you are also changing the mode. The advantage of using in an HHA is that you can…

But again setting up the Hello Home Action doesn’t remove a light from its shortcut group, it’s just a parallel means of control.
