The `sun` component will use your current location to track if the sun is above or below the horizon. This is a common ingredient within Home Automation.
|
|
|
|
To set it up, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
homeassistant:
|
|
latitude: 32.87336
|
|
longitude: -117.22743
|
|
|
|
sun:
|
|
```
