Include sunwait to support day/night mode on cameras without LDR

[TimelessNL]

Some camera's like this model do not have the LDR installed. I'm currently looking for alternatives to control the Day/Night. And one thing that caught my attentions is using sunwait with cron in order to call the Majestic API endpoint to switch Day/Night. Luckily sunwait is in buildroot. Would it be possible to add sunwait to the lite image so camera's without LDR can have an alternative way of switching Day/Night mode?

alternative auto day/night control for cameras based on the hisilicon or goke chips without light sensors

That seems like a suitable solution indeed, I tried the script but there seems something odd. When I put my finger on the lens (simulating total darkness) the camera switches between day/night mode continuously.

True putting my finger on the lens is not a real world scenario but I prefer not to have it continuously switch between day/night when the lens is blocked somehow.

Ok after some try and error I got it to work properly. Would it be possible to have it included in the lite firmware?

This is an external script, depends on your settings, you must install it yourself. You are also welcome to send in your revisions for modernisation.

Thanks, will do when I'm completely comfortable with the script.
