Heating from sunrise +X mins to sunset -X mins?

[HTPProXy]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to simulate the day/night cycle and therefore would like to start heating with a given delay after sunrise and end heating before sunset.

I created a light area which has a delay after sunrise (sunrise + 90m to sunset - 90m) and added that one as a dependency on the heating area. The dependency turns off heating at sunset - 90m but heating starts right with day because relay delays of the dependencies are ignored.

My next idea way was to remove the dependency and just work with delays, but this will also delay a normal heating period during day.

It would be easy with two day/night offsets, one for sunrise and one for sunset, so I wouldn‘t have to deal with relay delays, but this is not possible atm.

Does anyone have an idea if this can be realized with TerrariumPi?

Thank you!

edit:
Would this work?

• create two dummy script relays which return -1
• Set one of those relays to on with a day/night area and an offset of X
• Set the other relay to on with another day/night area and an offset of -X
• Create the heating area with relay dependecies to both dummy relays

@HTPProXy Is this by accident solved with solving the relay delay when toggling off? #1007

@theyosh Oh, indeed this has been solved with your fix. It is working fine now.
