Hi all, I've been using Domoticz for years and I've finally decided to move to HA. In Domoticz I could have a timer (fixed date, every days, every x days, and so on) for every single entity, in HA how I can do that? Thanks!

This custom component is what I use and love - https://github.com/nielsfaber/scheduler-component

What does this allow you to do that can't already be done with a date or time trigger in automations?

As far as I can see, you can’t use the position of the sun as trigger.

In vanilla home assistant? You can do sunrise and sunset but it's not super reliable in my experience.

Yes, I was referring to schedules where you cannot use the sun. Sun related automations work very reliably for me.
