Homekit Automation - Sunset triggers 4-5 hours early

I've set up an automation to turn on a light at sunset (currently about 730PM local). Every day, I've noticed it triggering sometime between 230-330PM.

I have two hubs on my network, a HomePod and AppleTV 4th gen also on the network.

I'm wondering if somehow it's triggering on UTC time since I'm 4 hours behind UTC. I've checked the timezone on my phone, it's correct and when I ask the HomePod the time it also is correct.

Any suggestions?

Siri answered correctly.

I ended up solving the problem by resetting both Apple TV and HomePod to factory settings and then set everything back up.
