Smart plug overnight rule

@SlabSlayer
Seems like every time I have to create a rule to turn my smart plugs on overnight I have to ask you for your input Slabslayer.
What I want this rule to do is turn my smart plug on 15 minutes before sunset and then off 59 minutes before sunrise the following day. I have attached a screenshot. Do I have it right?….thanks

You can try it, but there were issues in the past when the schedule was bridging two calendar days.

I always schedule my rules so the start is in the same day as the end to avoid that issue.

Start 59 min before Sunrise
End 15 min before Sunset

Action: Turn Plug Off

That may work the way you have it but it may have to wait a day for the next sunset for the rule to start, but it’s probably best to set it up like Slab has it written out for easy of mind understanding. Lol

Thanks guys. Slab does seem to know best so I’ll rewrite it the way he suggests. Will know tomorrow morning.
