> Sun is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 562k installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Sun is a built-in integration that tracks the sun's position and daily timing from Home Assistant itself. It adds sensors for the next dawn, dusk, midnight, noon, rising and setting, along with the solar azimuth and solar elevation. A binary sensor shows whether the sun is rising. Its devices can also start automations directly through device triggers. It works locally and is set up in the UI.
