Where sunset time data is coming from?

Hi,

I've set up HomeKit automation which turns on my Koogeek bulb at sunset. Standard weather app said that sunset was at 6:42 PM today, but the automation triggered at 6:45 PM. And it makes me wonder where the sunset time data is coming from?

Thank you,

Nik

Homekit automation rules Is there a way to turn off automated lights more than 60 minutes later? I would like to turn on a porch light at sunset, and have it go off at 11:00 pm or sunrise.

Sunrise and sunset automations are not working correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem. I have found that an automation to turn on lights does not work at the correct time when using sunset as the automation time. The turn-off time is also not working at sunrise. If the automation uses a specific time it appears to work correctly.

Sunset automation not working anymore First of all: I use an Apple TV as my HomeKit node, not a Homepod, but there is no topic "HomeKit" and this seems the most appropriate. Please let me know if I'm wrong there. 😅 Situation is as follows. I used to have a HomeKit automation that would turn on my lights about an hour before sunset. I live in South America. Traveled to Europe and since I've come back (about a month ago now) sunset automation stopped working. Some things that may be or not be relevant: I bought an Eve temperature sensor during my trip in Europe and wanted to test it out. It got connected to my home in South America. When I came back, the time was off in Eve. I had to remove it from there and re-add it to fix. Maybe this somehow threw it off, I don't know. There are multiple iPhones and Macs in the house. They're all new (iPhone 13s) and the Macs all run Ventura, minus one old Mini. So the operating systems are more "modern" than when I didn't have this problem. I've checked access to location services on all iPhones and Macs and they're all set to "While using". I also have a Homebridge install running for access to Ring cameras and Sonos, not sure if that can do anything. Timer automation works fine; things turn off at the locally configured time, so it understands my timezone. Any ideas?
