The start and end times can be offset by a number of minutes before (minus) or after (plus) the chosen event time.
The node provide two outputs. The first output emits a msg.payload of 1 or 0 every minute
depending if day-time (1) or night-time (0).
The second output emits only on the transition between night to day (-> 1) or day to night (-> 0).
It also outputs msg.start, msg.end and msg.now which are todays start and end times, with offsets applied, in ISO format, and the current ISO time.
msg.sun is an object containing the azimuth and altitude, in degrees, of the current sun position. msg.moon is an object containing its position, phase, illumination and icon.
