Astro function

Using the astro function, you switch light and shading depending on sunrise and sunset. The times for moving the blinds up and down and for switching the light on and off adjust themselves during the year to the changing sunrise and sunset times.

How you configure the astro function can be seen in the following video.

Note

The JUNG HOME push-button adopts the geodata and times from your mobile device.

Combination of astro function and automations

The combination of astro time and a fixed blind travel time ensures that a blind, for example, is raised in the mornings at sunrise, however not before a fixed time. It is lowered in the evenings at sunset, however not later than a fixed time.

Analogously, the combination of astro time and a fixed lighting switching time ensures that the lighting is switched off in the mornings at sunrise at the latest using the switch-off time of the time program. The load is switched on in the evenings at sunset, but at the earliest using the switch-on time of the time program.

The outdoor lighting should light in the morning and evening in the time that the occupants leave the house or come home.

The outdoor lighting is switched on Monday to Friday in the morning from 06:00 until 08:30 and in the evening from 17:00 until 22:30 by the timer function. The astro function ensures that the switching times are adjusted depending on sunrise and sunset.

In the winter, the time program switches on the lighting in the morning at 06:00 and the astro function switches it off after sunrise (for example, at 08:30). In the winter, the sunset is before the configured 17:00 switching time of the time program; therefore the sunset is not taken into account here and the lighting is not switched on until 17:00. The lighting is switched off at 22:30. The sunrise and sunset times and thus the switching times change during the course of the year.

In March, sunrise is still after the configured switching time. The lighting is switched on in the morning at 06:00. The sun does not set in the evening until after the switching time of the time program. Therefore the lighting stays off and is not switched on until 19:00.

The sunrise time in midsummer is before the configured switching time. There is already sufficient light at 05:30 so that the outdoor lighting is not switched on. Therefore the outdoor lighting also stays switched off in the evening.
