Dynamically change the temperature based on sunset time of local region

[mairs8]

Hey, thanks for the great plugin. I know this is still a WIP but a really useful feature is if the program can gradually reduce the temperature of the screen as it nears sunset time of the local region. So you install and then it monitors and gradually reduces as default feature. small decrements of temperature would be great so it works seamless without the user noticing. It can then gradually increase brightness as dawn approaches.

Shameless plug: You may use https://github.com/sstark/nerdshade/ for that until something better shows up.
You can hand it your location and based on that and your timezone will exactly do what you described. It still needs a bit of improvement and testing still.

Maybe consider using altitude of the sun, to trigger the transitions. In winter, it can get quite dark a while before sunset.

I wrote a small script for that purpose a while ago.
If you want you can use that until hyprsunset itself supports it :)
You can check it out here: https://github.com/leon-erd/dotfiles/blob/main/modules/home-manager/wm/hyprland/hyprsunset/script.py
It queries the current location from geoclue service. From the location it calculates the current sun elevation and from this the current brightness outside. The temperature is then set according to the brightness outside.
If you want to use it and need help to set it up feel free to ask or ping me on discord: leon06151

You can also use the hyprsunset config file to change it at a fixed time

Would be nice to have that option in hyprsunset, though.

This will call an api upon system start, then it replaces received sunset hour, and sets it as time value in hyprstart.conf, so probably the simplest solution out there, though obiously it would be the most convenient to be able to call this script directly from hyprsunset.conf file.

1. Add this to your autostart.conf in ~/.config/hypr/conf/autostart.conf: https://github.com/nxtkofi/nxtdots/blob/b4260cf87c49deab756567880af7535e8393fd82/hypr/scripts/xdg.sh#L8-L15
2. Create file ~/.config/hypr/scripts/sunset.sh: https://github.com/nxtkofi/nxtdots/blob/feature/improve-feel/hypr/scripts/sunset.sh
