It looks like you need the red wire into one of the COM terminals, with the red loop from there to the other COM terminal. Then the yellow wire into one of the 1 way terminals and the blue wire into the other 1 way terminal.
Leave the red tape on the blue and yellow wires to show that they are switched live.

I am (mostly...) a fan of use the right tool for the job.
Can a WiFi controlled smart switch be programmed to track sunrise/sunset? Sure.
But how about a simple photocell fixture? That is a far simpler technology that has been around "forever". No computer, smartphone, etc. needed. No worry about forgetting how to program it. Automatically on/off every day with sunset/sunrise.
Alternatively, you can get a motion sensor light. Automatically turns on when it detects someone within range and stays on until there is no movement for a while.
