Cannot edit schedule

[Telemachus1977]

My raspberry pi 3B died on me, and micro Center has some decent prices on raspberry pi-5.
With NVME SSD, this thing is smoking fast. And install all the software in seconds.

Besides the fact that GPIO doesn't work anymore, I am unable to edit any of the schedules on my EZ touch.

When I try to change the time, this is the error I get.

Error: General Error
MessageCannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getHours')

Thanks for reporting this. The bug is in how njsPC handles the sunrise/sunset (heliotrope) calculation on a fresh install before your controller has sent its latitude/longitude coordinates.

What's happening: On startup, njsPC tries to calculate sunrise/sunset times but doesn't have coordinates yet. There was a bug where it marked the calculation as "done" even though it failed — so when you try to edit a schedule, the code thinks sunrise/sunset values exist and crashes trying to read them.

The fix has been pushed — it corrects the internal flag so isCalculated only reports true when valid sunrise/sunset data actually exists, and adds null guards at the schedule edit call sites as a safety net.

If you're still seeing issues after updating, your EasyTouch may not be sending coordinates, or they haven't arrived yet at the time you edit a schedule. You can set them manually via either:

Option 1 — Environment variables (set before launching njsPC):

POOL_LATITUDE=33.45
POOL_LONGITUDE=-117.16

Option 2 — From the dashPanel UI:

Navigate to the gear icon (System Configuration) → General → and set your Latitude/Longitude there. This writes the values to poolConfig.json and takes effect immediately.

(Replace the example values with your actual coordinates.)

Once your EasyTouch sends its general config with lat/lon, or you set them manually, heliotrope will calculate sunrise/sunset and schedule editing will work normally.

That fix my ability to edit schedules. Thank you.
