If you're interested in HomeAssistant to solve this problem, I wrote a simpler implementation, [1] of using the sunrise/sun position sensor to change scenes for a room's lights. This didn't involve having a Zigbee hub like this post suggests, mostly because all my lights were Hue, or Zigbee-compatible (IKEA-branded Tradfri lights) that were already on my Hue bridge.
I found this worked for me, since I only needed to create four automations:
- What happens if the lights are turned on after/before sunset (2)
- What happens if if the lights are already on after/before sunset when it changes (2)
This implementation seems more around more fine adjustments to brightness/colour/colour temp, but mine's more geared towards "Is the sun down? Change the scene."

- Sander_Marechal 4y agoI have an even simpler setup. I have Hue lights and Ikea on/off smart toggle switches. The simple 1/0 ones, not the large 5-button ones. I created a simple setup where tapping the top "on" part will toggle between "bright" and "off", and tapping the bottom "off" part will toggle between "low red light" and "off". I use it in all my bedrooms, the living room, bathroom and toilets. At the end of the evening I just switch to red light and wind down for bed. At night I use the red light everywhere. I have a newborn and it's fantastic to be able to change him or take him downstairs for a bottle without bright light waking him too much.
