Solar Shadow Offset
« on: May 25, 2012, 10:17:58 PM »
It would be helpful to be able to put in the solar shadow offset as a period of time after sunrise and before sunset instead of a definite time. The way it is now requires periodic adjustment as the sunrise and sunset times change.

even that might not suit everyone as it might need fine tuneing
(because what is causing the shadow will not always be x time after sunrise as the season progress (its likely to get longer time as the sun migrates), etc

I think its just about impossible to be able to please every persons particular setup requirements for this

one will work for one person will not work very well for another person, etc etc

it would be better to site the solar sensor away from shade (eg by extending the cable )
