run function and bring back array do better?

[Jay Ess 6]

i have a function wI which computes sun angles, i have an array called sunposition where i am storing the sun angles i want to compute. i would like to get back 6 values, which are the six values in the sunposition array, i am unsure how to set up the results part of this please?

 

sunPosition = { 

{-0.833, "sunrise", "sunset"},

    {-0.3, "sunriseEnd", "sunsetStart"},

{-8, "blueHourDawn", "blueHourDuskEnd"}

    }

 

function QuickApp:GetTimes()

    local tb = {}

    for k,v in pairs(sunPosition) do tb[#tb+1]={name=k,angle=v} end

    table.sort(tb,function(a,b) return a.angle > b.angle end)

    for _,a in ipairs(tb) do

        R = a.angle

        --print(R)

        hour = "12"

        minute = "00"

        local returnTime

        if R == -8 then

            returnTime = wI(T,"U")

            print("Shabbos Out Time",returnTime)

            if fibaro.getGlobalVariable("shabbosEndTime")   ~= returnTime then

                print("Updating Variable "..returnTime)

                fibaro.setGlobalVariable("shabbosEndTime", returnTime)

                self:updateProperty("log", returnTime.." "..os.date("%x %H:%M:%S"))

            end

            --self:updateView("lblShabbosOut", "text", "Shabbos Goes Out At "..returnTime)

        elseif R == -0.8333 then

        --shabbosStartTime

            returnTime = sec2str(str2sec(wI(T,"D"))-(15*60))

            print("Shabbos In Time",returnTime)

            if fibaro.getGlobalVariable("shabbosStartTime") ~= returnTime then

                print("Updating Variable "..returnTime)

                fibaro.setGlobalVariable("shabbosStartTime", returnTime)

            end

            --self:updateView("lblShabbosIn", "text", "Shabbos Comes In At "..returnTime)

        end

    end

    --self:updateView("lblShabbosIn","visible",false)

    --self:updateView("lblShabbosOut", "text", "Shabbos Goes Out At "..fibaro.getGlobalVariable("shabbosEndTime"))

    self:UpdateLabelView()

end

@10der i use this app for basic sun times however i have found that your 8 degrees below sun time is out by between 1 and 3 degrees depending on the season, i have therefore also written another way of calculating sun times which seems to be slightly more accurate, i am comparing your data with suncalc.org for a long time i was looking for who wrote this qa and in my copy it does not have any comment in the top of the file of the author and it would be good to maybe include it LOL. would be great to be able to fine tune the sun_calc and not to have to use another app for it.

>"shabbosEndTime

btw. as i can understand you want know time of shalom shabbos  

as i know (sorry my mom is jewish) we should do like this:

 

(This time is calculated as the point at which the center of the sun’s disk is 1.583 degrees below the horizon.)

@10der LOL i have been breaking my head on this code for month's different communities work on different times, here in the uk we work on 8 degrees below the horizan, using suncalc and getting the 8 degrees works exactly with times out, here is a link to the local times, is there an easy way to print / dump every week of the year in one go so that it is easier to check the time given please?

i have run this using your blueHourDuskEnd and it brings back 17:05, while suncalc brings back 17:06 and the calender brings back 17:07, they are using arounding which adds on a minute and possibly your code is rounding down?

thank you for your help.
