Re: Activehome and GMT

[Stuart Grimshaw <stuart@xxxxxxx>]

I think it has something to do with how Activehome calculates Dusk times.

There is a formula that given the Longitude & Latitude & date will
calculate
the dusk time, it could be that because you have chosen GMT as your
timezone
it's calculating the dusk time from the lonlat of London? Though because it
lets you set your location you would have thought it would know the
co-ords.

Having said that I don't know how much difference there is between dusk in
Glasgow & Dusk in London (though it is significant).

I've never used Activehome, but is there any way you can give it your
LonLat
co-ords?
