Sunset/Sunrise Offset

With the sunset/sunrise offset feature we can turn on/off the Kasa smart devices several minutes before or after sunset/sunrise.

Choose Time as Sunset and slide the time to 5 minutes before;

Tap on Fade to access to the Fade Rate select page, choose the fade rate as 30 seconds and go back to the previous page;

Choose Repeat with Sunday and Saturday and hit on Save on the right topper corner
