Astro Binding

The Astro binding is used for calculating many DateTime and positional values for sun and moon.

Supported Things

This binding supports two Things: Sun and Moon

Discovery

Discovery is not necessary, because all calculations are done within the binding.

Binding Configuration

No binding configuration required.

Thing Configuration

The things requires the geolocation (latitude, longitude) for which the calculation is done. Optionally, a refresh interval (in seconds) can be defined to also calculate positional data like azimuth and elevation.
