Is anyone else having issues with the "Sunset/Sunrise" options?

I have this awesome connected activity program for when I open my door, the entry light comes on. (so i don't walk into a dark house) I have this program only set to run during the night times, to save on electricity, and since #WinterIsComing I've been having to go in to change the program times almost once a week to keep up with the sun going down. 

 

Last week I noticed this really COOL update for time selections which included "Sunrise" and "Sunset" and I thought WOW! Now I don't have to go in and fix it all the time. 

 

However, when I edited my program to start at Sunset and end at Sunrise, the program just works all day. I've called in to tech support and even had a technician out to double check the program, no one can figure it out. For now I just moved back to the manual times and it's working okay. 

 

Anyone else having issues with it?

Had the same issue. After finding the lights on during the day, I simply reprogrammed the nighttime lights on to be from the time I turn them off at night to 7 or 7:30 in the morning. No need to mess with it with sunrise apparently not working. I also set a check program to turn all lights off at 8:30 AM in the event I have something on due to fog or cloudy mornings. Programs are too easy to worry about a sunrise shutoff that doesn't.

An alternative is to set a program that when front door is unlocked (or locked), turn on light, delay for two minutes, then turn off. There are so many cool options so the possibilities are endless!
