hello, congratulations for your project maybe if you would have done it with an ESP8266 it was better because it seems that the RTC modules are stable

I have built this project myself, and it is for the lights in my chicken coop, as I was unable to find a timer on the retail market that did what this is supposed to do. I have a question regarding the settings and I cant seem to figure it out on my own. I have the time set and want it to turn on at sunrise and off at sunset ( the calculated time based on my location) and it didnt turn off this evening. Is there something im missing and could you help me figure out what settings I should change to make it behave the way i want it to?
