Question for node-red-contrib-sun-position

General
1

I use the node node-red-contrib-sun-position and for controlling of the blinds and some other stuff.

For some time know i got this messagers under the node

100 - __timeOp__ __timeLocal__ [2] Name Funktion

I guess that there should be the time of the last operation and the local time.Ho can i fix this?

Thanks + Regards

I'm using node-red-contrib-astrodata and it gives me what I need a lot better than that node.

cron-plus may also be a suggestion to try.
Not sure it does moon times, but it does do sunrise/set/duck/dawn and all those lovely things.

Which one of the nodes are you using ??

NR version and Contrib version ?

I have this running on NR 4.x and 5.x and using the latest versions of the Nodes and have no issues

I'm assuming this one based on the name - node-red-contrib-sun-position 3.0.0-alpha2

It has over 80 open issues with no updates in the last year, not to mention its an "alpha" release, so I guess I wouldn't expect much ?

I use the alpa version which is the latest version with nr 4.1.3

The node itself i use know for several years without any problems and everything works fine. I was just curious why the correct time are not inserted.

Thanks for the hint - i will check both

cron-plus may also be a suggestion to try.

Yes i have been using it for a number of years with no issues - but have just stumbled across one where it will not accept a new location - keeps complaining about the latitude being incorrect.

I see other people have raised the same issue.

I use a LOT of the nodes from the collection in a lot of my flows so hope it is not a dead product.
