set window orientation by context not working (restrict sunlight)

[panther-sh]

Problem description: In the tab "sun control" it´s not possible to set the window start/end orientation by context. It has no effect whether the value is stored as a number or string. For me it works only, when defined by the "Azimuth angle".

System information:

• Node Version 2.1.1 (latest)
• Node-Red Version 2.2.2 (latest)

Maybe already fixed in latest beta. Needs to be tested.

[panther-sh]

With the version 2.2.0-beta3 the problem is not fixed.

This was tested with the following flow:
