Feature Request: Astronomical Scheduling #1136

Closed jholmes09 closed 6 years ago

This feature would use your geographical location to determine what time sunrise & sunset is, triggering a playlist accordingly. You could either set your city or your coordinates.

Here are some APIs and libraries that could help (I think):

Yahoo weather API is another good one. I use that for a project I built.

Not that I want to jump into coding this feature but I've written a lot of astronomy code over the years and I have my own code that using your GPS location and date/time can calculate sunrise, sunset, moon position, sun position, as well as the positions of Jupiter's 4 major moons.

sunrise and sunset will be legitimate times in the next release. You will need to choose your nearest location in the settings.
