Hi. I’m using “It’s daytime” block in several of my automations, but it seems that it’s not precise.

 ![1000011380](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/5/45436dbf62084666d9a42ad073b82ec2c61e0a2f.png)

Example:  
It’s 4:06 AM  
Sunrise this day is at 4:32 AM  
“It’s daytime” block returns “true” in this situation, but shouldn’t (yet).

Is it bug or I don’t understand how it works?

The info text says that daytime means “between dawn and dusk”:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/b/1b69b6b142bc2c31a346005db83c2b88ddf2587f.png)

Dawn occurs before sunrise.

However, daytime is defined as the period between sunrise and sunset, so the card is wrong.

Also there are on Homey 2 difference sunrise en sunset times.

1. The card sunrise en sunset times.
2. Tag/token sunrise en sunset times.  
Time difference can be up to 3 minutes.

From my timeline

20-05-2024 21:36  
Zon onder.  
Tag 21:37  
mei 20 2024 21:36:00

21-05-2024 05:43  
Zon op.  
Tag 05:42  
mei 21 2024 05:43:00

Lucky now only 1 minute. 😉

That’s why I would like to see that time cards have a tag possibility beside the xx:xx.  
From which app you want to use the sunrise en sunset times, you can take there tag time.

I saw this tooltip, but I didn’t realized that “sunrise and sunset” is not the same as “dawn and dusk”.  
That explains everything.

Today dawn in my location is at 3:47 AM, so it seems that flows are working correctly.

I got the impression that Athom also doesn’t know there’s a difference 😅
