1) if 2 timed events are both scheduled for the same time, with random +/-, will they trigger at the same time on a given day, or are they randomized separately?

2) what's the difference between Dusk and Sunset?

Thanks!

Jeff,

1) Timed events are randomized separately.

2) Dusk and Dawn calculations in PowerHome correspond to "Civil Dusk" and "Civil Dawn" (civil twilight) and equate to the definitions that Tony pointed out for when the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.

Appreciate the purchase .

Dave.

Thanks Dave - Ok - I get it now, Civil Dusk/Dawn times are different than Sunrise/Sunset, I guess by varying degree. I can figure it out from the times the tool posts. Separate randomization is good. -thanks

BTW - I'm hoping at some point you can give me one more round of response to

and to

(question 2- should the timer app exit with the tool)


Yes - a happy user so far. I even made a late mod to an article that was posted today (check the very last paragraph 8-})

Thanks!
