Enhanced Sun component

I have no plans to add such a sensor. Although the astral package has a “time at elevation” method, it does not have the same for azimuth.

If your plan would be to use the sensor to trigger an automation, then you can just trigger on the azimuth value directly instead I would think.

Azimuth can also be made with a template sensor. Anyway, it is strongly connected to time of day and does not change much through a year. So if accuracy of around 20 minutes is ok, one could also use GMT time.
