Home Assistant has a built-in component called device_sun_light_trigger to help you automate your lights. The component will:

• Fade in the lights when the sun is setting and there are people home
• Turn on the lights when people get home after the sun has set
• Turn off the lights when all people leave the house

This component requires the components sun, device_tracker and light to be enabled.

To enable this component, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

device_sun_light_trigger:
  # Each of these 4 options are optional.

  # Specify a specific light/group of lights that has to be turned on
  light_group: group.living_room
  # Specify which light profile to use when turning lights on
  light_profile: relax
  # Specify which group of devices to track
  device_group: group.my_devices
  # Disable lights being turned off when everybody leaves the house
  disable_turn_off: 1

The options light_group, light_profile and disable_turn_off are optional.
