ESPHOME and Sun Components

Hi.

I can to close a door 1h after the sunset like that:

sun:
  latitude: 43.5491
  longitude: 5.2811
  on_sunset:
    - then:
        - delay: 01:00:00
        - cover.close:

How to do the same 1h before sunrise?

Thanks in advance.

I try

  on_sunrise:
    - then:
    # Optional time offset. This example will trigger 45 minutes before sunrise.
        - offset: "-00:45:00"
        - cover.open:

but it doesn’t work :frowning:

I can’t find anything in the ESPHome documentation that suggests it can do what you want.

thanks, I did not find it either. I am a beginner in home automation and English is not my mother tongue so I thought I missed the solution

My solution.

      if (!sunset.has_value())
        return {"NaN"};
      int sunset_min = sunset.value().hour * 60 + sunset.value().minute + ${shift_sunset};
      int sunset_hour = int(sunset_min / 60);
      int sunset_minute = sunset_min % 60;

      if((sunset_hour == time.hour) and (sunset_minute == time.minute))
        if(!id(relay).state)

id(sun_sun).sunset()
[/quote] doesn’t seem to work anymore. Have you updated your code by any chance?

I’m not sure but this might help:

auto sunset = id(sun_sun).sunset(id(sun_sun).elevation ());
auto sunrise = id(sun_sun).sunrise(id(sun_sun).elevation ());

So as of today a delay can be made using elevation as below:

sun:
  latitude: !secret home_latitude
  longitude: !secret home_longitude

  on_sunset:
    - elevation: -3.5°
      then:
        - switch.turn_on:
            id: relay_1

Is there a delay in minutes availible like “- dealy: 00:10:00” ?
