Indeed!

That’s not normal behavior 😂 Rather a bug

No that’s normal, you must have 2 houses in Gladys, right? The sunrise/sunset is calculated at each house’s location (normal, it’s not the same everywhere)

Ok, there must be an issue on that point. We need to be able to reproduce it.

I think @Terdious is already able to reproduce your first crash; I think we’ll know more after he has investigated.

We don’t handle text types 🙂 But that can be changed → feature request (there might already be one)
