I like to start a flow 10 minutes before sunset, but seems to be not possible. Or does anyone know how?

The Sun Events App is another option with more trigger point options (Dawn, Sunrise, Sunset, Dusk, plus others). Each event can be set to have offset times of up to 60 min before (-60) or up to 60 min after (+60). I use this app in my own flows, where I want to turn off lights xx minutes after sunrise and turn on lights xx minutes before sunset.
