Hello.
I got so much knowledge from this community that I want to share something what I did.
Below i present You the way which I made my window shutters fallow sun so it will not be dark in whole home but the sun will not heat up interior of house. IRL with outside shutter this drags temperatures by about 8 degrees.
I know there is probably elegant way of coding it but I did not touched my code since it started working.
Below is not including automation opening and closing shutters on sunrise or sundown since You probably already did it if You have shutters.
Here we go:
For simplifying thinking of automations I have crated adjusted azimuth. In simple words this is compensating what household is calling south and what actual south is You have to get this on Your own by doing some trigonometry on maps and change 27 in value template:
- platform: template
sensors:
sun_azimuth:
friendly_name: "Sun Azimuth"
unit_of_measurement: '°'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sun.sun', 'azimuth')-27|round(0) }}"
Second thing is tu prepare input boolean that will be responsible for not allowing further automations to run for eg. while watching movies on screen or during winter when we are lacking sun. I made two separate for winter and watching movies but one should be enough.
I did this by adding two input booleans in Config > Helpers.
If you have shutters (dirven by mqtt) on balcony windows and contact snsors You will be interested in adding this kind of automations for each window ( by adjusting topic) . It simply blocks tasmota device for executing orders:

trigger:

entity_id: binary_sensor.dws_okno_garaz_contact

state: "off"
sequence:
- service: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: cmnd/roleta/RolNG/Backlog
payload: ShutterLock1 0
default: []
mode: single
max_exceeded: silent
Next thing You want to do is to group shutters by “so called”/household
cardinal directions since we compensated that in first step. This can be don wherever you have Your cvers configured:
- platform: group
name: wschod # east
entities:
- cover.rolepw
- cover.rolelw
- platform: group
name: zachod #west
entities:
- cover.roleng
- platform: group
name: polnoc #north
entities:
- cover.rolelbw
- platform: group
name: poludnie #south
entities:
- cover.rolegos
- cover.rolept
- cover.rolelt
- cover.rolepbw
Main part: I have divided sun azimuth to diffrent directions and this is what triggers shutters. Shutters that are perpendicular (or almost) to sun rays are closed other one are slightly opened and those which are in shadow are opened.

If You have some automations that will block above ones by input_booleans you can use this to get them to actual state. This is what I use when I am done watchng movies on projector:

Well it is pretty much all of You hope It will be usefull and let me know that do You think about it.
