Hello everyone,

I’ve created a new custom integration, Moon Astro.

This is a high-precision Moon ephemeris integration, powered by Skyfield (DE440), and is supposed to enhance / replace the default Moon integration provided with Home Assistant.

  • There is no external network calls during runtime except Skyfield’s initial ephemeris download (cached locally).
  • All computations are local on your Home Assistant instance.

It provides current topocentric/geocentric ecliptic coordinates, illumination, distance, parallax, moonrise/set, next lunation timestamps, apogee/perigee, and zodiac information at the next new/full moon.

It does accurate ecliptic-of-date conversion (IAU 1980 nutation, true obliquity)
It provides also topocentric altitude and azimuth from your configured location.

How to get planet constellation data (azimuth & elevation) into HA

Just a suggestion …
You should probably put your recommended (HACS) installation first and the manual installation after that.

Thank you! The lack of decent lunar data in HA has really bugged me for some time.

The only other integration for this that I know of is way off so I pulled it ages ago, people were getting hurt. Now to set up some automations with voice to warn me about likely lycanthropic moments :wink:.

Kidding (maybe) aside, really appreciate you sharing this with us.

You’re right. Done.
I didn’t upgrade the version number as no code has been modified (this is a “cosmetic” change).
