I use the night mode too, more to save power and wear & tear on the pumps. Doesn't seem to have any negative effects on the livestock in my system that I'm aware of. I've also found the time to creep from the original set time. Gets a few minutes later later every day, so no, it's not that accurate. I'm hoping they've sorted that out with the newer ES drivers. I don't find it's that much of an issue, since it's fairly easy to reset the starting time for night mode if I wish to do so.
