Allow custom object thresholds based on time of the day

I would like to be able to set min_score and threshold (and maybe based on time of the day. Ideally the effective time range would be dynamically calculated based on location-based sunrise/sunset time ± custom offset (or somehow fed from Home Assistant?), but as easier initial solution it may be hard coded times in the YAML file. This would allow to lower the object detection sensitivity at night to generate alerts despite lower confidence level because lower image quality.

Perhaps add something like this:

  filters:
    person:
      #Effective time range for this setting
      #Day time
      start_time: 08:00
      end_time: 17:30
      min_score: 0.5
      threshold: 0.7

    person:
     #Night time
      start_time: 17:30
      end_time: 08:00
      min_score: 0.4
      threshold: 0.55

I don’t think I will approach it this way, but I can pin this issue so it stays open as a reminder.

I’d like to put in a vote for setting the thresholds via MQTT. Then I could have Node-Red/Home Assistant control the timing.
