Feature request: control light/dark mode via Home Assistant

[oleandre88]

Thanks for building Kiosk Satellite — thanks to it, my tablet went from being unable to work as a kiosk to actually working well as one.

Could you add the ability to control Kiosk Satellite's light/dark mode from Home Assistant, so we can automate it?

Thanks again for the great work!

You already can do this on-device.

Yes, I've found the integrated automation, but I'm in Norway, where daylight length swings a lot across the year, so a fixed on-device setting doesn't really fit. In winter I'd want to switch from light to dark around 16:00–17:00, but in summer that might not happen until 23:30 or later. Home Assistant's sun up/down automation handles that variability perfectly — the on-device setting can't.

The other piece is scaling: I'd like to control this across multiple kiosk screens at once and manually override the automation.

Both would be solved if the light/dark setting were just exposed as an entity in HA (even a simple select or switch) — then I could drive it from an automation instead of the device UI or remote webpage.
