System Time.Sunrise Indicator question

I live in Houston, Texas. In the evenings, it gets dark long before the actual sunset. Can I not use the ST.SI value if I want my lights to turn on 30 minutes before sunset? I read in the help files something about TimeAndDate, but I don't understand how to implement it. Trying to input a value of Days=0, Hours=00, Minutes=30, Seconds=00 doesn't work.



How do I do this?



thnx

If you want to execute a Task 30 minutes before sundown, add a condition on the System Time.TimeAndDate Property. Set the condition to Equal. Set the value to SUNSET_DATE_AND_TIME - Days=0, Hours=00, Minutes=30, Seconds=00. The actual value that will show in the Task is the next time the condition will be true. It will update the time in the task each time the sunset time changes.
