In the last example on your wiki, your using input_number.nighttime to show sun-up/sun-down. Would you mind sharing the HA config for that input_number?

I think you could do it in HA along the lines of:

  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunset
    offset: "-00:45:00"
  action:
    entity_id: input_number.nighttime
    service: input_number.set_value
    data:
      value: 1

And for sunrise:

  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunrise
    offset: "-00:45:00"
  action:
    entity_id: input_number.nighttime
    service: input_number.set_value
    data:
      value: 0

Adjusting the offsets as you see fit.

I mainly use the Node Red add-on for automation in HA, so the field is just a simple input which NR then populates. So the HA config is:

input_number:
  nighttime:
    name: Night
    min: 0
    max: 1

And the NR flow is: Screen Shot 2019-07-31 at 5 57 29 pm

And it’s a NR add-on called node-red-node-suncalc that gives me sunrise and sunset. The NR code for the screen-shot above is:

[{"id":"400e2f26.d7bb9","type":"sunrise","z":"f6747993.c9b448","name":"","lat":"-37.813630","lon":"144.9977","start":"sunrise","end":"dusk","x":170,"y":1280,"wires":[["db67ec3.d54731"],[]]},{"id":"2cc91956.57b696","type":"api-call-service","z":"f6747993.c9b448","name":"Set","server":"9a5aae17.6700c","service_domain":"input_number","service":"set_value","data":"{\"entity_id\":\"input_number.nighttime\"}","mergecontext":"","output_location":"","output_location_type":"none","x":530,"y":1280,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"db67ec3.d54731","type":"change","z":"f6747993.c9b448","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"{\t    \"data\": {\t        \"value\":\t            (payload = 1 ? 0 : 1)\t    }\t}","tot":"jsonata"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":360,"y":1280,"wires":[["2cc91956.57b696"]]},{"id":"9a5aae17.6700c","type":"server","z":"","name":"Home Assistant","legacy":false,"hassio":true,"rejectUnauthorizedCerts":true,"ha_boolean":"y|yes|true|on|home|open","connectionDelay":false}]

There’s probably a simpler way to do it in straight HA automation.
