Sunrise/sunset profile

[P Schlew]

Hi,

I've got some issue since few days with the Sunrise/sunset profile (http://tasker.wikidot.com/sunrisesunset).

The value obtained for %SUNRISE is %set.

As some of my tasks are depedent of the %SUNRISE value, they didn't work anymore.

Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot!

P

Just to give another solution.

The AutoWeb app has several APIs that retrieves Sunrise/Sunset data and returns it as a variable directly in Tasker.

You may also try that free plug-in, which works perfectly on my two devices, even if the play store descriptions states "The app seems not to be working with Tasker at the moment. We are working on fixing this." : Locale/Tasker Twilight Plug-in

Thanks for your answer but seems not downloadable at the moment...

Thanks, I try it but how to add the sunset time in a variable?

You don't have to: directly use the plugin as a profile state condition. The profile will triggered during the specified interval, defined with relative offsets of your choice to sunset/sunrise at your location and current date

"Thanks for your answer but seems not downloadable at the moment..."

It's a beta app so you have to join the Google+ community before you can download it.

This is what I do......

Sorry but I have to. Some of my tasks use the sunset time.... Exemple: if time is > sunset time then.... This condition is not the principal condition of my tasks...

Not a big deal: simply set up a single profile using the given plugin, active from sunrise to sunset.

In this profile startup task, set a global variable %SunriseTime to current time and in the exit task do the same for %SunsetTime

Then in your other tasks, simply refer to that either global variable depending of your needs. And you're done

Here's the profile:

Profile: Day (184)

Notification: no

State: Twilight [ Configuration:From SUNRISE to SUNSET at Device location. ]

Enter: Anon (185)

A1: Variable Set [ Name:%SunriseTime To:%TIMES Do Maths:Off Append:Off ] 

Exit: Anon (187)

A1: Variable Set [ Name:%SunsetTime To:%TIMES Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]

I still hope that the guys of http://tasker.wikidot.com/sunrisesunset will update their script... I am using it since years and everytime there was a bug (like now) they updated it... On the other side the plugin mentioned above was last updated 2013... so I wonder if they update it once there also occor problems...

Good job!!!! Works great! Thanks.... But I need %TIME and not %TIMES.
Thanks a lot.

This is my universal %TIMES 'converter': http://tasker.wikidot.com/getformatteddate

For me (Android 4.4.2) the Twilight-Plugin does not work, regardless what I set as 'from-to':

Even after the from-to period the profile stays active (it is green in Tasker).
Only after opening and closing the Profile-condition it gets inactive.

You can use a MeteoTask event condition

I assume the 'not working' has to do with my specific Android 4.4.2 (Wiko Sunset2)... It seems to have some energy saving build in, so that time context profiles are delayed to at least the next 'even 10 minutes'... this morning (sunset = 5:21) the profile was triggered at 5:30 which supports my theory... so I will check today whether sunset (ca. 21:31) will get triggered latest at around 22:00... If this is the case then the Twilight-plugin would work for me (I could set e.g. '10 Minutes before' or so)... I will report here...

Hi,

iiuc there is an error in the script function "calcSunriseSet" ("twilightdelta" vs "twilightDelta").

[Juergen Gruen]

Sorry, just figured out that there are different versions of sunrise.js

sunrise.js works fine for me.

[Juergen Gruen]

Sorry again. sunrise3.js works...

[kirsc...@gmail.com]

Uup... yes, Jürgen, sunrise3.js really works...

I tested the wrong version too. Not really clear. The link at the top points to an old version. The latest version is hidden behind the small link at the bottom of the Web page...

It's the word 'files' you have to click (not a URL, only java-script... therefor not possible to paste a link here).

[kirsc...@gmail.com]

Yes, my guess was correct... the twilight.apk plug-in works... it is my Android 4.4.2 version that causes delays in (de-)activating the twilight profile... usually up to the next 10-20 minutes... but that's OK for my screen-dimming purposes and the 'finetuning-features' of the twilight-plug-in... so everything OK with twilight...

[P Schlew]

Great Juergen! sunrise3.js works!!!!!!!!! :-)

It seems I'm late to the party but here's an alternative using AutoWeb and the Weather Underground API: http://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?resources/day-night-project-based-on-sunrise-and-sunset-times.131/

Hope this helps somewhat as it's a bit simpler then other solutions :)

[Tobias Hau]

Great! I've loading sunriseset3.js and profile is working again! Thx!

[Angela Slaney]

I had this working on sunrise.js in Tasker. Updating my phone and re-installing it started to complain that "twilightDetla" was an unknown variable. Reading here, today, I changed to sunriseset3.js and still had the issue. Since twilightDelta is passed into functions as a float it should not need globally defining. However, once I do set "var twilightDelta = 0;" at the bottom of the script it all appears to work again. I think this may be a tasker issue rather than sunsrise*.js

[Angela Slaney]

Another bloomin' plugin that clutters my app drawer and someone needs a dollar for. Never impressed by something a few lines of MY code can do.

[Dennis A.]

what version TASKER?

i just upgraded to the newest Tasker and now I'm seeing a weird local/global var problem that i just assumed was a new bug (not in sunrise, but in something else)

Any decent Launcher can hide apps in the drawer and no one is forcing you to use or pay for a plugin they are completely optional. I would really love to see you send your phones notifications to a Android TV or PC without a plugin though. Just using a few lines of YOUR code.
