Use PeakFinder for exact sunrise/sunset hours

The regular sunrise and sunset hours work well if the location is on a plain surface without mountains. So, the solution is to use a fixed offset to be more precise. However, offsets can vary depends on the period of the year. With PeakFinder, you can precisely determine the time of a sunset and a sunrise, according to the mountains next to the given location.

For example, Sion (in Switzerland) is surrounded of mountains. On 22nd May 2025, the official forecast indicates a sunrise at 05:49 AM and a sunset at 21:05. For the same date, PeakFinder takes into account the mountains and says a sunrise at 06:21 and a sunset at 19:57.

PeakFinder has an API for the sun times : GitHub - Fabiz/PeakFinder-API: Demo Page form embedding the PeakFinder API

As an alternative, the custom sun2 integration supports an observer elevation.

Hello maidmaid,

Do you have a question, or is this a request for someone to write a new Integration?

Generally new Integrations start out as someone in GitHub writing something and getting it debugged well enough before it is considered for core integration.

Your best bet would be to change the category to ‘social’ and recruit someone to help you write this, or see if others have an idea how to already do this.

Getting caught in the X-Y Problem Zone is not a good thing.
