Hi, this i very nice. Just what I was looking for.
Would it be possible to add the feature to have a dim slider, before light.turn_off ?
So that the light would be able to dim to something less before Off
kind regards
Jesper

@Mediaripper see the following script with the additional control https://gist.github.com/rvdlee/2af667b095d783d44395ba25798217aa.

This is I think the closest you would get to a software solution. I've also seen an interesting and different approach in the cookbook here. Anyway :) Have fun!

This does almost everything I need, how would it be edited to use the sun rather than an absolute time frame?
