            domain: switch
     # Create a variable for capturing the desired offset for shifting the trigger
    elevation_shift:
      name: Elevation Shift
      description: Using an elevation offset (height of sun relative to the horizon) to shift the sunset trigger, either earlier or later. Positive values bring the automation start time forward, whilst negative values delay the start time.
