This will give you a flow that looks like this
Then in Gladys, create a device like this
et a scene like this
There you go, it is now possible to create an event based on the sun’s position in Gladys, such as opening or closing the shutters according to their orientation to heat or cool the room
You will need to customize your GPS location here
You also need to install via « Manage palette »
The « node-red-contrib-sun-position » module via the « install » tab
The MQTT injection frequency is defined in the « inject enhanced » node here 10 minutes (and which defines the interval between sunrise and sunset!)
There you go, I hope this helps some of you, it’s true that the Gladys Node-red combination solves many shortcomings while waiting for the appropriate devs to be implemented! 
Of course, until this feature is built into Gladys!
