Hi Marcel, I think there is a little bug in the (latest) test version. I have a flow card that checks if it is between start golden hour evening and the end of sunrise. It should return true now, but it does not. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4a6cbd4b2f540a0c348c2dad4e2b156863eda55c.png) ---

Ah I see in the app description that events between today and tomorrow are not supported anymore. So I will have check it another way. ---

You can use ā€œItā€™s between **End of sunrise (0)** and **Golden hour begins (0)**ā€ and connect the next card to the lower connection point (the yellow one). Or you can invert the card ā€œItā€™s **not** between **End of sunrise (0)** and **Golden hour begins (0)**ā€ and use the upper connection point (the blue one). ---

So, this may be a simple question with a complex answer. During summer our bedroom is basically a green house. But if we close the blinds things are actually fine. Iā€™d like to keep our blinds closed for the shortest amount of time possible. And thatā€™s when the sun is directly hitting the windows. How can I calculate thistime period? ---

No need for calculation, but determing the ā€˜[azimuth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth)ā€™ values. The azimuth capability can be used to trigger a flow between certain sun positions; F.i. when the sun hits your windows between the south (noon/180Ā°) and west (evening/270Ā°), The ā€˜altitudeā€™ can be used to determine if the sun is high enough above the horizon to hit the windows. ![Screenshot from 2023-04-07 03-52-17](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/0/707dbf4346bfd72b1a3451d1b7e06700b1526377.png) ---

I canā€™t get it to trigger multiple times on an azimuth change. Also, I donā€™t always receive even numbers. ![Screenshot from 2023-05-15 22-11-09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/e/1e5e981ea185e49655d9597da2e435b96c7fde54.png) So you can use something like this, to make sure it triggers only once: ![Screenshot from 2023-05-15 22-10-27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/a/0a67be2fd6fe2fb859411ff5e9ab6c29194a67ec.png) ---

Thank you. Will try with logic. Maybe I could try also with decimal place 195.1 This is 4 times on ā€œsunsetā€ altitude. ![IMG_7679](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/8/2839d3cbbfe4f4b15f0b3cf828949d6eb7db4008.jpeg) ---

I would like to mention [https://www.suncalc.org/](https://www.suncalc.org/) as great help to see sun at your location in variuos times of year. It makes planing easier. You get azimuth and altitude data etcā€¦ ---

Hi @MarcelT, just found out, that the condition card ā€œAzimuth is between X and Yā€ doesnā€™t work on HP19. On HP23 it works without problem. Test flows: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/3/13aea5be5631d3f6b9ad0144be698b9bca010626.png) Timeline results: ![IMG_2060](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/7/87f748cf17c03d3232f0f181d77f2f0d383cdef6.jpeg) Diagnostic report no.: d2b7c0eb-b38f-4945-b911-8b9ae0d4281d ---

Hi Marcel, The conditional card ā€˜It [is|isnĀ“t] after sunrise/sunsetā€™ card seems to be inverted at my system.

I also notice something strange about the Azimuth values. When I use the ā€˜andā€™ card from the app for the azimuth value it seems to read different values ā€‹ā€‹than when I read it from a logic card. See screen print below. From the logic card the value is greater than 130 but from the app it gives false. ![Zonnestanden](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/6/56d0c62adc42bb1402ad8540567c633ce4c5b0bb.jpeg) ---

Hi @MarcelT , I saw that you updated Sun Events recently but it didnā€™t update in my case, because the last update was for 1.4.x branch, while I was using test 2.1.x branch. Is that intended, that the final is 1.4.x and manual update is required ? Thank you. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/f/ff5496c43a40075fdd35e77856e70411139eace7.png) [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-sun-events-triggers-you-at-certain-positions-of-the-sun/71043.md?page=7) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-sun-events-triggers-you-at-certain-positions-of-the-sun/71043.md?page=9)
