"Astro" is empty
Known
Hello,
I have a problem in my scheduler config, the "astro" field list is empty :
Is this normal ? Am I missing something ?
I would like to setup my shutters with sunset and sunrise, and I'm stuck ...
Thanks for any help
The same problem 
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
did you ADD VIRTUAL WEATHER STATION?
did you ADD VIRTUAL WEATHER STATION?
Thank you for your help, Sebastian
No, I did not ... and I did not know I had to do it :(
Btw, after adding the Virtual Weather Station, it works ;)
Another questions about "astro" :
- when you want to schedule SUNSET or SUNRISE, you still have to set a time in the "start" line ? but which one ?
- according to this response , virtual weather station is based on wunderground.com data. I can see three different types of twilight : civil, nautical and astronomical. Which one does Zipato use ?
Thank you for your help, Sebastian

you don't have to set time, or even if you do, it won't be taken into account.
as for the type, it is civil

Thank you Sebastian
Well, I created a simple rule to activate a Fibaro switch on sunset and sunrise, and it did not work, neither at sunset nor sunrise :(
- When I use the switch manually, it works
- When I set a specific time instead of sunset or sunrise, it works
- The Zipabox is correctly set on my time zone (Paris)
- The Virtual Weather Station gives me values (but they don't fit the wunderground data for sunset and sunrise)
Here are my settings :
Did I miss something ? Any help would be very apreciated ;)

I don't think that you are doing anything wrong. But at this moment there are problems with the virtual weatherr station. As you have noticed the values are not updated. I have already submitted a ticket for this.
So we have to wait for the Zipato team to solve this issue.

You should give it a try now. The virtual weather station has resume working again at my place.

Hi John,
You're right : weather datas from wunderground are now well up to date in the virtual weather station
Btw, I did not was able to trigger my switch module (Fibaro FGS-221) with the astro scheduler. I guess I did something wrong. I do really miss a wiki to corectly use the Zipabox :/
Anyway, I'll give a try to the alternative way to use my Fibaro module with sunset and sunrise.

Hi,
Maybe you should recreate these rules from scratch, now the weather station is working. I configured a rule that is fired 25 minutes before sunset and it is working like a dream. The easiest ay to check of a rule is working is to add an additional action in it: send a mail to yourself. Then you know for sure that a rule is working.
The alternative solution I have tried that as well a few months ago. It is working, however from time to time I was mssing some data.

Hi John,
You were right : I deleted the Virtual Weather Station, rebuild the rules from scratch, and the the rules with astro sunset and sunrise work !
One thing I changed from the previous rules : I added a small offset (1min)
Sebastian : Do you think if you leave astro offset blank, it will corrupt it ? Btw, you can mark the topic as "solved"
