"things start happening" after sunset?

[danielzen]

I have a fairly simple, and I imagine common, use case.
I have a motion sensor that triggers a light in my entryway.
I want it to activate after sunset.
The only options I have for “time window” are “Start Time” & “End Time”.

I wound up having to change the time window multiple times a year to deal with the change of sunset time throughout the year.

• Is there an option I am missing?
• Is there a work around?
• Can I make a feature request?

Thanks,
danielzen

If you are using ‘smart lighting’ then yes, you have missed something

After clicking 'only at a certain time’
Go to ‘specific time’ and change it to 'sunset’
Then you can set an offset + or -

How to create lighting automations with Smart Lights

A Smart Lights automation can also be triggered at sunrise, at sunset, or at a specific time (as demonstrated above), as well as when the Mode changes.

Thank you @JDRoberts. I was not using “Smart Lights”. I was only using Routines Automation, which is obviously lacking…
