Show sunrise and sunset time in FHEM

In this tutorial I will guide you how to show the sunrise time in FHEM Prerequesites: - a working FHEM version Open the FHEM configuration file (fhem.cfg) under Edit files.Add the following global attributes to set your location. attr global latitude 51.345753 attr global longitude 12.38213 Replace the latitude and longitude values with your desired location. The decimal values of your location can be determined here.To save the values for sunrise and sunset we are going to create two dummies define Sunrise dummy define Sunset dummyAs the values need to be generated every day after 12 pm we define the following function define sun_riseSet_timer at *03:00:00 { my $s = sunrise();; fhem("set Sunrise $s");; $s = sunset();; fhem("set Sunset $s");; } This way, the next time of sunrise and sunsets will be set every day at 0.05 am to the dummies.Now we need to assign the room "Weather" to the dummies attr Sonnenaufgang room Weather attr Sonnenuntergang room WeatherFinally, your code should look like this:attr global latitude 51.339695 attr global longitude 12.373075############## Sunrise/Sunset ###################define Sunrise dummy attr Sunrise room Weatherdefine Sunset dummy attr Sunset room Weatherdefine sun_riseSet_timer at *00:05:00 { my $s = sunrise();; fhem("set Sunrise $s");; $s = sunset();; fhem("set Sunset $s");; }You can use the following commands if you want to know the brightness of the sunrise or sundown sunrise("REAL"); #Sun rises or sets at horizon sunrise("CIVIL"); #The sun is behind the horizon but it is still bright sunrise("NAUTIC") #Shapes can be still distinguished against the horizon (e.g. on the sea) sunrise("ASTRONOMIC") #It is completely darkMore information to sunrise() can be found on the Commandref page.
