Sorry in advance for such a simple thing but I just can not find it!
Thanks!

You set the actual time you want the lights to come on/off. Then update it every couple weeks or month as the times of sunset and sunrise change.
-
or ... just install an astronomical light switch and never worry about sunrise/sunset again. Wont be controlled by A+ but just one more thing you don't have to deal with...

Ah yes... the oft promised yet to be material 'scenes'. Should be easy with SmartThings. A+? notsomuch. For this, oh lawd, we wait. Amen

Oh.
My takeaway is that this now multiple year old product can not do a simple task as such?
I have the bi weekly change the times down.
My sincerest apologizes to almond + developers.
I miss understood the meaning of home automation.
Can anyone recommend a simple zwave box that can do such a difficult task?
I like my simple needs of lights and triggers. Just assumed a trigger would include sunrise and sunset.
Again my apologizes to the almond plus team for assuming that would be a given.
When I originally supported this product by purchasing early all I have received is promises and disappointment. I even stepped away from the forum and promised monthly updates to avoid disappointment. Yet here I am again with the NEW LATEST AND GREATEST several months old update and my original request that wa acknowledged and promised soon is still none existent.
Almond plus hardware so far is great for me but the delivery of promised updates is the most miserable experience I have ever had with a product.
If you are reading this in contemplation of buying, I recommend sending cash directly to me as it will be far more satisfying knowing I will keep it no questions asked and no expectations in return.. That is unless you like, neigh, LOVE disappointment..
Seriously disappointed supporter who waited over a year for delayed delivery and should have taken that as a hint.
Oh? Almond offers a new 2015 product?
No freakin way would I consider another purchase of any kind from almond unless they are sold out and everyone who set previous expectations is fired.
From reading this forum it seems I'm one of many.

Yeah,
I don't post much here. Guess I don't want much either.
I understand there is a scripting language on this thing?
Maybe we could have a script that increments or decrements cron jobs on say a weekly basis by a user defined number of minutes? bunny, even monthly is better than not!
A simple text config that would have 1 for January a delimiter then a number of minutes to adjust a delimiter and rule name! Rinse and repeat for each month!
Or similar concept but just directly define in a file Jan sunrise equals xxx February sunrise == xxxx same for sunset.
A proper sunrise/sunset is preferred though!
Anyone?
Just poking the smart folks

Exactly as you said.
All I want is to get the notifications as soon as the door lock opens, never worked.
My wifi freeze all the time, I have to reboot router at-lest once in 24 hours, sometime twice a day.
Very disappointed.

Smart things.

Generating a script to pull time, including sunrise and sunset is not difficult.
Nor is triggering a light on/off.
If there is enough interest, I'll happily provide it for a small fee. 8)
If there were a lot of interest, I'd do it for free and just post the stuff on a blog with a few ads but honestly we're not talking about rocket science here.

Here, setup a cron job, calculate, trigger light.

Or if you have a RaPi connected, use the following and then remote shell to the A+ and trigger event.
