I am missing a quite handy automation option to be able to turn on/off switches or lights with sunrise/sunset including offset like say 15 minutes before sunset or 25 minutes after sunrise. Seems the Aqara app is missing this there is only a set time of the day that can be chosen which means when it gets darker earlier I need to keep on changing the time.
I think you are using automations not the new Smart automations 2.0
Please change to 2.0 and you can get this feature and more

Hi and thanx for the reply but how and where do I find this 2.0? Have been looking for this setting and canāt fonds it simply
I replied to a similar post a couple of days ago with instructions how to do this in Automations 1.0 (the current version). The logic is already built into the Automations.
Automation only at night - Automation Inspirations - Aqara Forum
"Iām sure Iāve already got this in Automation 1.0 by using 4 difference automations. Iām sure someone more intelligent than me might have put this in just 1, or Automation 2.0 might fix this.
Automationsā¦
IF āChannel 1 turns onā (Iām using a standard PIR connected to a T2 Relay but Iām sure you can say IF the FP1E detects motion). THEN turn lights ON
IF āChannel 1 turns offā (maybe youāll have something like IF the FP1E no longer detects motion). THEN turn lights OFF
IF After āLocationā At Sunset. THEN Enable āName of Automation 1ā.
You ca add days into the THEN is you want the On automation to start say 30 mins after sunset.
IF After āLocationā At Sunrise. THEN Disable āName of Automation 1ā
In my experience there is no need to disable Automation 2.
Let me know how you get on."
DO not have this option in my Aqara Appā¦ Looks like this is Beta
Automations 2.0 will be released in the next update (version 6.0). It is coming soon. Stay tuned!
