At least you’ve been able to sort of make sense of where the time is coming from? I can’t make automations work, so I use sunset / sunrise timing for my lamp sockets as that’s the only thing that will work reliably. However sunset timing is generally a couple hours too early? I can’t figure out where it gets it from. The time is right on my cameras.
Seems like a simple solution would just let the user specify a location. I set my location in SmartThings, it’s nice, simple and easy. It seems they complicated things, and it breaks things.
