Circadian Lighting [Home Assistant Component]

Forked from https://github.com/claytonjn/hass-circadian_lighting .

This sensor has been returned to the original function of circadian lighting. Since CL has not been updated for a little over a year, this fork will continue to maintain compatibility with HA as HA continues to be updated. You can use this fork for CL functionality with HA. If you prefer superior Hue integration with CL, please check out this repo: https://github.com/robertomano24/circadian_lighting-hue

Stay healthier and sleep better by syncing your lights with natural daylight to maintain your circadian rhythm!

Circadian Lighting slowly synchronizes your color changing lights with the regular naturally occurring color temperature of the sky throughout the day. This gives your environment a more natural feel, with cooler hues during the midday and warmer tints near twilight and dawn.

In addition, Circadian Lighting can set your lights to a nice cool white at 1% in “Sleep” mode, which is far brighter than starlight but won’t reset your circadian rhythm or break down too much rhodopsin in your eyes.
