sunrise offset is the minimum time after/before sunrise that the integration is allowed to control the blinds. start time is the minimum time at which the integration may control the blinds. This overrides the sunrise offset if that time is before the start time

Great explanation, thanks. Maybe add this to the docs (and all other parameters one can tweak unless they're not self-explanatory?
