Update: I have found a work around via another user. I want my timer to turn on just before sunset and turn off at 11:00 PM all year.
Here's how: Use the astronomic timer first. Turn on: set to sunset BEFORE and set your time. I did 30 minutes, so that way if it's cloudy I'll still have some light. Turn off: set to sunset BEFORE and set for a long time. I did 1 hour. Select your days of the week as needed.
Now: Set another PROGRAMMABLE timer. Set on time for the latest sunset time in your area. In MO, that's around 9:00. Set time off for the time you want it to go off every night!
This "hack" now sets your timer to always turn on around sunset, but turn off the exact same time each night. No need to readjust times due to seasons or Daylight Savings Time!!!
I had no problem with setup. I'm using this for my under cabinet lighting. I just wish I could turn it in just before sunset, but always turn off at a given time. I don't like having them on past 11:00, so I can't do the other option of sunset and sunrise option due to varying times of sunset and sunrise. If I could setup on 30 minutes before sunset and off at 11:00, I'd be a completely happy camper!
