Looking for a solution on how to determine when to close and open skylight blinds. I can just do hours of the day but would like it to be a bit more intelligent.

Anyone looked at using something like the math used for solar panels? I was thinking that when max solar power was generated in the summer that is when they are closed to keep heat out.

Ideas?

    Additional information regarding Home Assistant:

    The sun component (which should be enabled by default) already computes the sun position for you.

    Elevation and azimuth are available as standalone sensors sensor.sun_solar_azimuth (might be disabled by default) or as attributes on the sun.sun entity.
