It can be very convenient to have all the lights in your house or in a room switch on automatically. Of course you can set a fixed time for a device or group to switch on, but it may be desirable to have this time adjusted according to the season. For example, on the basis of the daily varying time of sunset.
In the example below we show how to set this up. The goal is that the group of lights with the name Desk, automatically switch on 30 minutes before sunset. It is important that a location is set in the Hihome App as the location is decisive for the automatic determination of the sunset time per day.
The images in this example are screenshots in the Dutch language. If you have another language set up, it will be different in terms of language, but visually equivalent.
