I have automation set to turn on some lights inside the house "at sunset"... that works perfectly, as it is... my issue is that "sunset" is that by the time "sunset" occurs the inside of my house is getting pretty dark... has anyone found a way to do math on "sunset"? What I'd like to do is be able to automatically turn the lights on at "30 minutes before sunset" (or a number that I can play with to get the timing right), but haven't located a way to do that yet. Anyone got that figured out?

That's already there. In the automation, after selecting sunset as the time in the 'When' list, click in the 'i' button and you can select before or after sunset in 15 minutes intervals.
