alt Hacker NewsMaybe i can piggyback onto this question: Are there timer switches that can change the times depending on the calendar? I want to turn on some lights shortly after sunset but they don't have a brightness sensor. So i'd like to do it by time of day.

If you don't want to go full-blown Home Assistant or anything "smart", you can still handle this with a self-contained switch.
I installed a Honeywell similar to this one [1]. You tell it the date and your lat/long, and it knows the times for dawn and dusk.
I had a previous version of it 10 years ago [2]. Worked great.
If you're already using Home Assistant and WLED, this is a cinch. You could even write an automation that plays your home team's colors each night they win a game.
