    There appears to be some calculation issue in using this api.

    Using the attached screenshot as a guide...in testing my related Task, the result is a good 4hrs behind the api's test city of Chicago, IL, USA.

    Task description...

    Sunrise/Sunset Test (194)
    A1: AutoWeb Web Service [ Configuration:API: Sunrise/Sunset
    API Action: Get Sunrise/Sunset times
    Lat: 41.878113
    Lng: -87.629799
    Date: today
    Formatted Date: 1 Timeout (Seconds):30 ]
    A2: Flash [ Text:Sunrise: %sunrise
    Sunset: %sunset Long:On ]

    Sorry the values returned from the API are not changed by AutoWeb so it must be an issue with the API. Maybe try the DarkSky API?

    I discovered the issue... times are returned in UTC. I was then going to request an offset in the app, but realize, I need to convert to seconds for Tasker use anyhow.
