Timer option at sunrise and sunset.

Could we get a time setting for timers on devices that is on sunset/sunrise, ignoring selection for Time?
We can limit the timer to before/after sunrise/sunset, so the data should be there.

..and yes, it's a plant growing thing. I want to start irrigation at sunset, and turn off artificial light at sunrise.
Why I want it in Timers for devices? Keep It Simple Stupid principle: no need recalculating and adding additional scripts if it's already there.

Probably nothing, if that's how they work. Timers is not mentioned in manual, nor documented on Wiki.
There is no indication in the UI that "time" is used as a offset, and not an exclusion.

I am updating the wiki manual, still work in progress: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Managing_ ... ice_Timers
The PDF manual is out of date for a long time.
