Does anyone have a workaround or alternative integration that follows the sun? I’m hitting this regularly, as I’m doing a good bit of late night tweaking recently.

  - binary_sensor:
    # tod workaround
    - name: "Night"
      unique_id: tod_night
      state: >
        {% set cur_sunset = iif(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_setting")>state_attr("sun.sun", "next_rising")
        ,as_datetime(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_setting"))-timedelta(days=1)
        ,as_datetime(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_setting")))%}

        {% if 
        now()>cur_sunset
        and now()<as_datetime(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_rising"))
        -%}
          on
        {%- else -%}
          off
        {%- endif %}

@DmytroKorniienko thanks for sharing! I’m stuck though with some more complex TOD’s that are important to me for outdoor light automations. I had a go at modifying your code for evening for example, but couldn’t find a way to get the after_offset working properly.

after_offset requires more complex logic and I’m not implemented it for my automations, but can share one more example:

  - binary_sensor:
    # from 21:00 to 5 minutes before next_rising
    - name: "Light Control"
      unique_id: tod_light_control
      state: >
        {% set cur_sunset = iif(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_setting")>state_attr("sun.sun", "next_rising")
        ,as_datetime(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_setting"))-timedelta(days=1)
        ,as_datetime(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_setting")))%}
        {% set cur_start = strptime(as_timestamp(cur_sunset) | timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00%z'),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z') %}

        {% if 
        now()>cur_start+timedelta(hours=21, minutes=00)
        and now()<as_datetime(state_attr("sun.sun", "next_rising"))-timedelta(hours=0, minutes=5)
        -%}
          on
        {%- else -%}
          off
        {%- endif %}
