Description

Concise Description

As in title, I was using the nightmode dimming feature with no problem prior to changing a setting with the schedule option. In turn this then broke the entire setting, not changing the dim no matter the setting along with the schedule options not working in the first place.

Only solution I found was resetting the add-on entirely.

Opening F12 shows reference error to time when dim adjusted when with option for schedule disabled after bug has been triggered with changing schedule option from default.
