What's wrong in my mind? How to use it?

I have set the right location in settings and get the right times at the dashboard and with json:

Code: Select all

/json.htm?type=command&param=getSunRiseSet

Code: Select all

AstrTwilightEnd	"21:42"
AstrTwilightStart	"04:51"
CivTwilightEnd	"20:21"
CivTwilightStart	"06:12"
DayLength	"13:03"
NautTwilightEnd	"21:00"
NautTwilightStart	"05:33"
ServerTime	"2020-04-03 08:26:40"
SunAtSouth	"13:17"
Sunrise	"06:45"
Sunset	"19:48"
status	"OK"
title	"getSunRiseSet"

But if I try to use it in lua:

Code: Select all

        print(timeofday['Daytime'])
        print('SunriseInMinutes '..timeofday['SunriseInMinutes'] )

i get wrong times:

Code: Select all

 2020-04-03 08:29:39.444 Status: LUA: Nighttime
2020-04-03 08:29:39.444 Status: LUA: SunriseInMinutes 405

...and the SunRiseInMinutes doesn't change the value!?

What I want is to run a script only when it is bright outside

Sunrise "06:45"

SunriseInMinutes 405 = 6 hours * 60 + 45 is 6:45

This variable will only change once a day at midnight. It contains todays sunrisetime converted to minutes.
If you want to compute with it you also need the current time in minutes which is changed every minute.
