Hi, I am having some issues getting the node-red-contrib-light-scheduler to work. I believe I have everything set up correctly but the node does not seem to be switching states (it stays "OFF"). I have set the coordinates for my location (added the angle of the sun just for debugging to confirm it was below horizon). I can't figure out why it is not changing states. I've added some screenshots. Is there something I am just not getting?
Hi, welcome to the forum.
have you set the topic in the MQTT out nodes?
Hi, thanks for the response. I have set the topics in the MQTT nodes. As a matter of fact, because the light-scheduler node is in the OFF state it was triggering them off (when it was dark outside and they should have been ON).
Please post your flow here, it will be easier to diagnose any problems.
I have a couple of debug nodes I was playing with in here as well that can be ignored.

Hi - does anyone have any suggestions of what I could try? Am I doing something wrong?
