No, a user shouldn't have to mess around with offset just to get base sunrise/ sunset correct. Sunrise/ sunset should be implemented to be correct for the router geographic location... as should weather if it is going to be reported on the Almond+.
I think folks are conflating issues incorrectly or I am misunderstanding some of the comments.
Timezone does not determine your weather location, nor sunrise sunset. Perhaps there is an issue w/ the A+ but I can't be certain based on the previous posts.
If the weather being displayed is not local enough for you, it may have nothing to do with the A+ and everything with the way your ISP and geoloc play together.
What does matter is how well the geoloc ip stuff is working for your location.
If folks want to msg / PM for more detail, I will work with you to see what your system has identified as your location and the related details on sunrise/sunset/weather/timezone.
We should take detailed discussion on weather/timezone/sunrise/sunset to another thread.I
will not work 'extended problem solving' in this thread as it would be too much of a distraction.
To give you an idea, use a tool like
https://geoiptool.com and take a look at that info. If it is not specific enough to your location, it likely explains why the A+ isn't showing you what you might expect.
