The `moon` sensor platform is tracking the moon phases.

To enable the moon sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: moon
```
This sensor will return one of the following values: 
`New moon`, `Waxing crescent`, `First quarter`, `Waxing gibbous`, `Full moon`, `Waning gibbous`, `Last quarter` or `Waning crescent` .
