Looking for a solution on how to determine when to close and open skylight blinds. I can just do hours of the day but would like it to be a bit more intelligent.

Anyone looked at using something like the math used for solar panels? I was thinking that when max solar power was generated in the summer that is when they are closed to keep heat out.

Ideas?

It's not clear to me if you have photovoltaic panels and can use the data from them or not.

I don't have panels. I was wondering if I can apply the same math and if so has anyone done this in home assistant already.
