Turning on IR Automatically/On a Schedule

[acat]

I have a Logisaf PZT x4 zoom IR equipped camera. I'd like to turn on the IR at dusk and off near sunrise, despite the switch over to B&W. I can see how to do this manually with the button on the Blue Iris display screen. Is there a way to do this automatically based on light levels or scheduled off the sunrise/sunset timing?

Thank you. In the manual it mentions "..within 30 minutes of sunset/sunrise..." as allowing a relative offset. Must it be within 30 minutes or less, or is that just an example? So it's quite light here both before sunrise and after sunset, so more than 30 minutes is probably OK to maintain color, before switching over to B&W.

That's an example...
