I set up Home Assistant for my parents after their Insteon system turned into a brick. It did a great job of controlling everything, but it seems to think there's an extra sunset at 4:17PM every day which has made scheduling a challenge.
- tass 4y agoThe recommended way to automate based on sunset/sunrise is to use sun elevation. That may solve your issue. I’d be happy to share some yaml from my setup, if you like
- karlshea 4y agoThis is good to know, and now that you say it makes total sense. Can you share that yaml?
- tass 4y agoLooks like I replaced most of what I have with blueprints, though here’s an example of a simple blueprint that just turns something on at your specified sun elevation: https://gist.github.com/CyanAutomation/1b8bafd033f73e3c24e42e8f381ff906 https://gist.github.com/CyanAutomation/1b8bafd033f73e3c24e42... Important bit is near the bottom, the trigger and condition sections. It’s possible you could find a blueprint that replaces whatever you were trying to do on your own, too.
