Sunrise/Sunset not working properly?

I have the following program that is intended to flash a light in the office when my X10 motion sensor is triggered. There is a similar program that operates during the day. Since upgrading my ISY-26 to a ISY99i/IR last week which came with firmware 2.7.0, I have noticed that Driveway Alert Nightime is tripped during the daytime along with its mate, Driveway Alert Daytime.

 

If the conditions to operate Driveway Alert Nighttime are from Sunset to Sunrise, why would it be operating at 11AM as shown in the Last Run Time in the Program summary? Seems to me that it shouldn't be running at all from Sunrise to Sunset.

 

Driveway Alert Nighttime

If
       From    Sunset 
       To      Sunrise (next day)
   And X10 'C3/On (3)' is Received
   And Status  'Office Lamp (AL)' is On

Then
       Run Program 'FlashOffOn' (Then Path)

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Companion program, Driveway Alert Daytime

If
       From    Sunrise +  1 hour 
       To      Sunset  (same day)
   And X10 'C3/On (3)' is Received
   And Status  'Office Lamp (AL)' is Off

Then
       Run Program 'FlashOnOff' (Then Path)

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hi Dave,

 

Both those programs will be evaluated whenever the X10 command is received. If all the conditions are not true the program summary should display False and the Else section would run if you had any actions there.
