#A Node-RED node to do circadian lighting levels
##Install
npm install node-red-contrib-circadian-light
##Usage
You set your lat/lon and the reporting interval then the node outputs a message with the current possition of the sun and it's % of daily hight:
{
"azimuth": 0.36900883056765676,
"altitude": 0.36796818774968365,
"percent": 89.8566247170534
}
Where azimuth
is the position of the Sun in radians (direction along the
horizon, measured from south to west), e.g. 0 is south and Math.PI * 3/4 is
northwest.
altitude
is the hight of the Sun above the horizon in radians. Where 0 is
at the horizon and PI/2 is directly overhead.
percent
is how close the Sun is to it's highest position of the day, so 0%
is at sun rise and 100% will be the highest point the sun reaches for the
given position and day.
