Unable to set custom sunset_time

[dsenapati]

Hi there -- thank you so much for your amazing work on this!

I've been slowly transitioning from CL to your component, but am having tremendous difficulty in setting a custom sunset time (working from home these days, and want to have my lights follow work schedule rather than sun's schedule). As context, I have established two switches (one with a custom sunrise_time and one with a custom sunset_time). I am having no issues with the switch with custom sunrise_time, but anytime I set a sunset time (e.g., 18:00:00 as my custom sunset_time, where my astronomical sunset today is 18:35:00), I get an error and my switch entity becomes disabled.

"The sun events ('sunset', 'solar_noon', 'sunrise', 'solar_midnight') are not in the expected order. The Adaptive Lighting integration will not work! This might happen if your sunrise/sunset offset is too large or your manually set sunrise/sunset time is past/before noon/midnight."

I noticed this behavior in the latest builds, but did not have this behavior in your the first few builds you released.

Did you only set the sunset?

The integration seems to think that this is the order of events: ('sunset', 'solar_noon', 'sunrise', 'solar_midnight'), which is in the wrong order. Did you set a offset?

@dsenapati and @ctrl50, I found a bug in the time zones while writing tests for Home Assistant 7ce7f4e.

I think if you update this component you should no longer experience the issue.

@basnijholt – just wanted to confirm that updating to the latest component fixed my issue – thank you so much for your diligence on this, and looking forward to Adaptive Lighting getting merged into HA proper!

Great to hear, happy to know it's appreciated! I'll close this issue then.
