FAQ - Sun Option & Sun Elevation
Why did you use it and how can I set it?
I thought about āSunsetā and āSunriseā but HA recommend to use sun elevation as it works better throughout the year. So I took their advice and used the sun elevation.
It is really easy to set up.I would recommend you check your sun elevation degrees and set it to your requirements. Every site is different. A easy way to choose your setting is to find or add the sun to your dashboard. When you click on it, a pop up window will appear.

Then one night just watch the sunset and your elevation. Determine what elevation you would like to set so when the trigger is triggered and the sun is below your set point (elevation degrees) the light will come ON. Once you know your preference just change the sun elevation degrees in the blueprint.
Then just monitor if it is working correctly and to your liking. Change if necessary.
Night Lights
You also have a sun condition in night lights. This is totally separate to the global sun condition. Normally you would choose to use one or the other. If you are choosing to use both sun conditions, it is recommended that you use a lower value for night lights. Example, if your global sun setting was ā-1.5ā then you could set your night lights to ā-20.5ā. The slider may not allow for you to select your setting. If this is the case just simply type the value you would like to use and click save. The values shown are only examples and you would need to input your chosen settings.
Enjoy
