Would really like the equivalent to the sun sensor for the moon so I can know if the night sky is dark enough to see the aurora after the sun is set.
Is there a similar algorithm that can tell me if the moon is visible in the sky now? Does anyone else use moonrise data?
I just did a quick google search for calculating it, looks like its not too easy but it is doable. There are libraries that already do this that I found on github, but the calculation is complicated enough that it would require you (or someone) to create a separate component.
Any update on this request? I also have an observatory and would like to be able to show moon rise and moon set times in HA.
Thanks for the update.
the new astral library (v3.0) supports moon rise, so now this must be added to HA.
