Go to Configure->Programs->Scheduling-> verify Scheduled On/Off is enabled (green)

That will add the Scheduled On/Off to your drop down.

I believe I have solved the problem with your help.
It struck me after looking at the Scheduling page that nothing was on the page.
I checked and for some reason HG was not saving the info. Probably due to my computer??
I reloaded HG saved a program and now the scheduling page is populating.

I do have one question--when in the "Select Comparison Value" screen of the light program is the following @sunset correct. I seem to remember using @FromSunset in prior versions?"


 Scheduler.Time   Equals  @sunset

Thank you again for your help.
Alan

Sorry about that.

Just want to confirm is the command
@Sunset
or
@FromSunset

And do I need brackets () before and after?

Thank you.

Not sure where you are asking to add the Sunset/Sunrise selection, but I'll try. 

If you are selecting sunset or sunrise on the light setup screen I showed above, you just select an option from the drop down list.

If you are using sunset or sunrise in the custom cron window in the cron event wizard then you use @Sunset or @Sunrise there.  Like I turn my indoor lights 30 minutes before sunset, so i use (@Sunset - 30).

I finally gave up trying to use Weather Underground to set times. I switched to JKUTILS and am now able to turn lights on and off at sunset and sunrise. I had to experiment a little but got the hang of it very quickly.
When SolarAltitude is running--and viewed from "Scheduler" page
Just click on the preset time you desire.
Then fill in Occurrence
Pick the modules you want to time control
Then pick from an array of pre-programed scripts. (Add code snippet)

For an old duffer like me it worked great. For you with programing ability it should be no problem to add your own coding.
Thank you again mchias13 for all the help and Gene for a fun and useful program.
