When selecting options other than time-based switching, the selected time of day input field is replaced by a numeric time input field in which the on/off shift time can be specified. The shift time is set in minutes. By default, the`Shift’fields are set to 0 minutes.

For example, when the shift time settings are set above: Astronomical time is scheduled to start at 21:36, and this parameter is set to -30 (minutes), with this setting the event will start at 21:06 (30 minutes before sunset)The astronomical time is scheduled to end at 05:32, and this parameter is set to 60, with this setting the event will shut down at 06:32 (60 minutes after sunrise) The astronomical relay start variants can be combined with each other and configured in different ways For example, you can set the event triggering mode to start at sunset and switch off by time, e.g. 22:00:
Conversely, make the event switch on time at 18:00 and switch off at dawn:
Important, if you set the values the other way round, switching on at dawn and switching off at dusk, then accordingly the event will work only during daytime.
Note. In order for the astronomical relay to work correctly based on the location of the object, in the Player settings you need to specify its exact coordinates, or the coordinates of the city where the object is located.
