I originally though the App would do latitude longitude and supplied a method to do it like AHP does.

Latitude and longitude would obviously work too, but a zip code conversion would be easier for the customer.

For example:  https://www.freemaptools.com/convert-us-zip-code-to-lat-lng.htm

Yep, that would work for US customers but not outside the US.

Out of force of habit I deny any application that asks my location.

I know what you mean.... those old habits are hard to break. I often joke that I am so old... That I still carry pocket change and I don't even know why.

Whereas... I really am attracted to the idea of living in the boonies in an off-grid "Earthship" made from old tires and shipping containers. But... it ain't gone-a-happen. Meanwhile... all my private information has been hacked at least 3 times, and the NSA listens to every work I speak. Somehow... I think letting an app know my location... isn't so scary.

As a suggestion...... you might want to compile an alternate ID. Pick it, write it down... and stick to it for on-line and other meaningless crap.
Misspell your name
Use a different address
change your birthdate (and year)
use the zip code for that 'other" post office

I always claim to be a guy named Tom... who lives in Canada.

Actually, operating systems do not ask for latitude or longitude, they ask for time zone. And most implementation ask for one major city in that TZ, from which they derive TZ,  very simple for most usages.

I Just got An Email back on this and it is indeed a bug which the developer is attempting to nail down.
However the info I requested previously will help the developer nail this down much faster.
Authinx has suggested users with Dusk Dawn issues use basic timers till the fix has been coded.
There have been reports of the dawn timer coming on at 1 am (not good) B:(

If there is a bug, why isn't everyone reporting it? Android on Samsung Galaxy S 5 (x2), Galaxy Tab E and Tab 4.

It appears it is a iOS issue according to Authinx.
The developer is having a hard time nailing it down. This is why additional info was requested from forum members.
It may just be specific time zones, phones, carriers, or iOS versions.
The more commonalities that can be found, the quicker it maybe nailed down and a fix applied.

Just noticed the Porch Light failed to turn on tonight. Will try to report back tomorrow night.

UPDATE: must have been a one time miss, or the wife turned it off. WM100 timers are working wonderfully.

As an FYI- I'm in NJ, and when at home we've got Optimum as our ISP.  I DID most of the set ups using iOS... hmmmm, do I use Android instead? Oh, and yes, upgraded firmware right outta da box!

I believe the  setup being done with iOS is what the developer is thinking is the issue.
If you do have an android device you may try redoing the dusk dawn with it and see if that helps.

Or... it could be the bulb?

I've been converting things to Homeseer (having trouble mastering events, aka macros)... as well as the WM100 (all my timers are working well there). With somethings I am depending for alerts on my phone.... a little from here, a little from there. I've lived with back-ups to my back-ups for so long..... now I am trying to RE-imagine the entire setup. It's frustrating... and a lot of fun.

Nope. Turned it on the old fashioned way -- with an app on my phone.

I am in Quebec, Canada, same TZ as New York, With Bell as an ISP, and I have the inoperative Dawn/Dusk problem also on my Android 7 Motorola  Moto G5.

Ok, so a failed dust timer again tonight. This was after I disconnected my Internet (did not unplug the WM100) and tried to connect with the app over a WiFi LAN without internet.

I later reconnected the Internet and connected with the app, but just noticed the light failed to turn on.

Is there a connection to these events? I may need another forum member to duplicate the experiment to find out.

I had done the disconnect reconnect modem thing after you posted just to confirm the internet requirement.
I only have one dusk timer though and it still cam on when it was suppose to.
I also have not experienced the dusk bug(yet).

It should be noted I have done an app uninstall and a hard reset of the WM100 prior. These things may have fixed the Dusk bug before it was noticed by me. ::) :'
