close the blinds because of the position of the sun?

[compuman]

hello guys,

a friend use a raspi as domoticz as well. Last week he told me, that he is looking for a solution to close the blinds, if the sun turns in this direction. Because it is not every day at the same time you can't use a normal timer as well as a variable like sunrise / sunset.
I found some websites where I can get the needed informations (http://www.sonnenverlauf.de/#/51.4506,7 ... 12/16:30/1) but I'm not able to put the information into the domoticz system.
My idea is, that I read the position of the sun and also the angle of the sun. So I know if the sun shines directly to the window, and I can close the blinds for x seconds.

In the forum I can´t find any topic like this.
Have someone any idea how can I solve this "challenge"

Thanks a lot

Markus

I found a solution based on the program sonnenstand.py from Franz Scheerer. If someone ist istrested I will present it in "my projects".

Ofcourse, always interesting! (and a 'backup' explanation for yourself if you ever need to set it up again)
