How do I change a light zone to only turn on/off and not be dimmable?

Ideally when you import light zones we can tell if they are on/off only or dimmable, but some systems don't give you enough information. You can't change this via the UI at the moment, to remove the dimmable functionality:

• Go to the features tab, and click on the edit button in the top right
• Find the light zone you wish to change, note down the ID of the light zone
• In a text editor open your gohome.json file (or whatever you called your configuration file)
• Find the section keyed by "features: [", scroll down to the feature that matches your ID
• Find the "attrs" key and remove the "brightness" key located in that
• Restart your system, the light will now no longer be dimmable

Why are my sunrise/sunset events at the wrong time

You need to specify the latitude/longitude of the gohome server in the config. Also if you are using a Raspberry PI make sure you have the correct time zone set on your device, to change it run the following command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Why can't I log in after installing goHOME

goHOME doesn't have a default user account, you need to create one, or maybe you forgot your password, see getting started for more details
