The reminder that follows the sunset
In London, the sun sets around 9:20pm in June and before 4pm in December. A fixed-time reminder is wrong half the year. XNeuronal works out the time of sunrise and sunset for your place every day, and tells you at the right moment.
The sun sets the time
“Remind me to close the henhouse at sunset.” XNeuronal tells you tonight's time straight away, say 9:21pm, and adds that it will follow the shortening days.
The reminder then comes back every day, and every day its time is recalculated for the place. Between June and December, sunset slides by several hours: you never have anything to correct. And if you only want it for tonight, say so, for example “just tonight”: it rings once, then the card is done.
Before, after, and in the right place
The offset is said the way you think it: “half an hour before sunset, remind me to bring in the cushions”, “a quarter of an hour after sunrise, remind me to open the shutters”.
With no place given, the reminder follows home. You can name another one: “at sunset, at the cabin, remind me to close the barn”. If XNeuronal doesn't know that place yet, it asks for the address before setting anything.
Changed with one sentence
“Actually, a quarter of an hour before.” “Make it sunrise instead.” The existing reminder is changed, not recreated, and XNeuronal tells you the time of the next one.
If you correct the address of home, every reminder attached to it follows, the henhouse one included: its next time is recalculated at once for the right place. And “stop the henhouse reminder” stops it, without erasing the card.
Calculated, not guessed
The time comes from an astronomical calculation based on the place's position, not from a forecast: it is known for every day of the year, to the minute, which is plenty for the hens.
Above the Arctic Circle, there are days when the sun doesn't set, or doesn't rise. XNeuronal then skips those days rather than inventing a time.
What you can say to it
Remind me to close the henhouse at sunset
It gives you tonight's time, then recalculates it every day.
Half an hour before sunset, remind me to bring in the cushions
The offset is dictated, before or after.
At sunset, remind me to water the tomatoes
The moment the water doesn't evaporate, with no time to adjust in July.
An hour before sunset, remind me to go out and take photos
Golden light comes before sunset: the reminder gives you time to get there.
At sunset, at the cabin, remind me to close the barn
A place other than home is named in the sentence.
Just tonight, at sunset, remind me to bring in the washing
Only once: it rings tonight, then the card is done.
At sunrise, remind me to open the henhouse
The time changes every day, and so does the reminder.
A quarter of an hour after sunrise, remind me to open the shutters
A routine set by the light, not by the alarm clock.
At sunrise, remind me to air the greenhouse
Summer or winter, at the moment the day breaks where you live.
Actually, make it a quarter of an hour before
The existing reminder changes, and it tells you the time of the next one.
Move the hens reminder to sunrise instead
From sunset to sunrise, with nothing to recreate.
Home is at 12 Lilac Street
Every home reminder follows, and the sun's time is recalculated for the right address.
Stop the henhouse reminder
The reminder stops, the card stays in your memory.
Actually, make the henhouse reminder just once
It will only ring the next time, then the card is done.
