Potential error in time by elevation calculation (getSunTimeByElevation)
Hi,
using the time inject node I'm trying to inject the time when the sun reaches an elevation of 9° at my location as per screenshot below:
Doing so, the following rise object gets injected into the payload:
{"value":"2022-06-19T03:17:54.351Z","ts":1655608674351.8875,"elevation":0.15707963267948966,...}
However the timestamp, which is 05:17 in GMT+2, seems to be off for around 1 h 3 min, as it should be somewhere between 06:19 and 06:20 GMT+2.
The sunset object however is giving me a time of 21:18 GMT+2 whereas it should be around 20:14 GMT+2.
The location is set correctly in the position-config node.
I encountered this issue on Node Red version 2.2.2 and library version 2.1.1.
Help would be highly appreciated, maybe I just didn't figure out quite right how to use this function.
