## What it is
A Home Assistant custom integration that automatically adjusts light brightness and color temperature based on the sun's position, with manual override support and a sleep mode. It is installed via HACS and configured per light group.

## Use cases
- automatically adjust smart light color temperature with sunrise and sunset
- make home lighting follow my circadian rhythm
- add adaptive brightness to Home Assistant lights
- set up a warm dim sleep mode for nighttime lighting
- control Hue and Zigbee lights adaptively in Home Assistant

## When to choose
- you use Home Assistant and want sun-synchronized lighting without manual automations
- you want per-light-group control of brightness and color adaptation with sleep mode
- you want a well-maintained HACS integration with a large community

## When to avoid
- you don't use Home Assistant
- your lights don't support brightness or color temperature adjustment
- you need a standalone lighting controller outside a smart home hub
