Hello.
I have a problem. I'm using https://github.com/Jterrettaz/sunduration and
that works so far. I can also set the value via $current.sunshine_time and
then get 5.0 minutes. However, the whole thing doesn't work for the daytime
sunshine time with $day.sunshine_time. I built this for my XML file. This
looks like this:
<solar>
<solar value="$current.radiation.formatted"/>
<solar_max value="$day.radiation.max.formatted"/>
<solar_max_time value="$day.radiation.maxtime.format("%H:%M")""/>
<sun_last value="$current.sunshine_time"/>
<sun_last value="$day.sunshine_time"/>
</solar>
Now I get an error that the day.sunshine_time cannot be read. Anyone have
an idea why?
Thanks very much
