Kasa Sunrise / Sunset -- Need Offset Time capability

Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
It's great to have the sunrise / sunset capability built into the Kasa app. However, now needed is the ability to set a certain length of time before or after the current sunrise / sunset official time to actually turn on / off the lights or switch. Very often the official time for sunrise / sunset is 30 minutes or more off from when users ideally want to have lights come on or off.
By being able, to example, set "Sunset + 30 minutes" as the On time for my outside lights, I will never have to adjust the schedule but will also not waste 30 minutes of electricity everyday when those lights are still not needed.
Thank you for great products! Keep up the good work!

@wheindl you can set a WU trigger on IFTTT and set your location eastward for earlier or westward for later triggers. Use maps to figure out what longitude you're on then add or subtract 1 for an offset of 4 minutes. There's 4 minutes between each longitude.

@Moderator_Edwa Dynamic sunset time is the standard for Smartlife app. Would Kasa implement this feature?

@jarrettm They have finally added this! At least in my HS200 switches. (had to force a firmware update to get the ability)
With that being said, I am pretty disappointed that the offset is limited to + or - an hour. I think for most folks use cases this is OK, but I don't understand why the artificial limit (other than making the UI simpler).
