How can I change the data of an automation each month?

Example that I use for air quality that has “IF” statements in Sensor. This is what you want I believe.

    purpleair_description:
      friendly_name: 'PurpleAir AQI Description'
      unique_id: purpleair_description
      value_template: >
        {% set aqi = states('sensor.purpleair_aqi')|float %}
        {% if aqi >= 401.0 %}
          Very Hazardous
        {% elif aqi >= 301.0 %}
          Hazardous
        {% elif aqi >= 201.0 %}
          Very Unhealthy
        {% elif aqi >= 151.0 %}
          Unhealthy
        {% elif aqi >= 101.0 %}
          Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
        {% elif aqi >= 51.0 %}
          Moderate
        {% elif aqi >= 0.0 %}
          Good
        {% else %}
          undefined
        {% endif %}
      entity_id: sensor.purpleair
      availability_template: "{{ sensor.purpleair_available }}"

‘{% if now().month in (1,) %} January……. {% endif %}’

One possibility is to set a sensor for your Minimum Az

{% set xxx = states('now().month')|float %} # xxx being the variable
{% if xxx = 9}
  145
{% if xxx = 10}
  168

or make a binary sensor if sensor.sun_azimuth is > AzMin
depends on what you want to do

I don’t know if the now.month starts at zero or one; but for being 0100 for me, that is the answer you get. Well past my bedtime.
