#### {% linkable_title Send sun rise/sun set notifications %}
Send notifications through [PushBullet](/components/notify.pushbullet/) when the sun state is changed.
```yaml
automation:
- alias: 'Send notification when sun rises'
trigger:
platform: sun
event: sunrise
offset: '+00:00:00'
action:
service: notify.pushbullet
data:
message: 'The sun is up.'
- alias: 'Send notification when sun sets'
trigger:
platform: sun

#### {% linkable_title Automations for lights and blinds based on solar elevation %}
Solar elevation automations can cope with offsets from sunset / sunrise as the seasons change better than using a time based offsets.
```yaml
- alias: 'Turn a few lights on when the sun gets dim'
trigger:
platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ state.attributes.elevation }}{% endraw %}'
below: 3.5
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.background_lights
- alias: 'Turn more lights on as the sun gets dimmer'
trigger:
platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ state.attributes.elevation }}{% endraw %}'
below: 1.5
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.more_lights
- alias: 'Close blind at dusk'
trigger:
platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ state.attributes.elevation }}{% endraw %}'
below: -2.5
action:
service: switch.turn_off
entity_id: switch.blind
```
