@roddaut @SandeeRodriguez @evernote @draftsapp For what it's worth, and perhaps for others reading, I love "Note To Self Mail" on iOS. It just sends an email to an preconfigured email address (e.g. the one for an Evernote account, or perhaps a Trello board).

@everydayCheck And... then it worked 😆

@everydayCheck Login using a password is failing at the moment. Seeing this in the console.

@clipdropapp What's the situation with copyright regarding the training data used? Does the training data contain copyrighted images?

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue Yes, I know that now. But the app could be improved to make this possible. So please consider this a feature request and not a bug.

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue Automations: Before an automation turns on, it should check if the off time is already passed, and not turn on at all.

Example: on: 05:00 off: Sunrise.

If sunrise is 04:00 the light comes on all day. Turns off the next morning at 04:00. Then turns on an hour later!

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue Yes I understand the behaviour. I'm saying that's not what I want it to do. It needs some extra logic and probably an extra option to skip the automation if start time if after the stop time on _the same day_.

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue Well that's a bug surely?

If I set:
Start: 05:15
Stop: Sunrise

Then I'd expect that to work fine in the winter (as it does) because sunrise is after 05:15.

But as the time of sunrise changes, I'd expect the light to no longer turn on at all.

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue Have you got enough info regarding how the Automation is set up now? I attached 3 images but although I can see that I've replied 3 times I only actually see 1 image myself 🙄 Do you see them? Do you need more info?

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue So, for example, it might be start 05:15 and stop 04:30 (sunrise). Meaning, surely, that the logic should do a very simple check like "if (start < end) turnOnLights else exitAutomation"

But they just come on at 05:15 and remain on.

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue Sure - but it's not complicated and I've got several the same and they all have the same problem

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue Thanks - no, no other automations outside the Hue app.

So does this imply that it should be smart enough to not turn on an automation if the end time (determined by sunrise/sunset) is prior to the start time?

[Dave Wood @RedYetiDave]

@tweethue The lights are coming on and off at the right time, relative to the sunrise and sunset. I'm not sure how time zone would affect it. Also, where do I check the time zone?
