5:56PM = after sunset here (GMT+1)
It doesn’t seem a time zone thing.
The “it is night” condition is correctly marked as true though
(while “it is after sunset” is marked wrongly (as false) as reported before).

I was never happy with the systems settings of sunset/rise. As for sunset it still could be bright enough so you do not need lights. So I created a virtual button which is turned on(=night)/off(=day) depending on the brightness outside (measured by hue outdoor sensor). I do use the button in different flows, each time when brightness is relevant.
Perhabs also an idea for your issue.

It’s confusing sometimes, but this is a Homey Cloud issue. Virtual switches aren’t available.

Oh I see. That´s a pity. I like the virtual ones.

Install the [KlikAan KlikUit (KAKU) App](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.klikaanklikuit/KlikAanKlikUit/) to your Homey or just try adding a KAKU Device. If you want a Button just add fe a “socket”, A Dimmer is also possible, or a Light ( E27 type device or Bulb ) I guess it could be any “Receiver” type of device. When pairing, just blink your eyes and S…

Luckily I am using Homey Pro so I can benefit of the virtual devices app 😃. I did not get that the original question was linked to a cloud issue until Peter told me.

Sometimes the tags tell us something. But the TS has to pick them and has to be aware about the possibility 😬

But for a couple of text you don’t have,
This user got an tag automatically by typing “homey bridge” in the body.
I don’t expect that from day one users, so also the Community is something about Automation.
That also can result in a Tag where someone mentions an for that case un-important fact.
