The sunset automation required TV mode off, so an afternoon of TV skipped
the driveway string lights entirely (Sep 22 and 23) - not an outage. The
driveway now has its own sunset -1h automation, with catch-up on restart
or switch reconnect before 23:00.
Evening brightness lives in one script (evening_lights_apply) that blends
between the old step levels; a 5-minute ramp from 20:30 eases lights that
are on and leaves alone any a person has changed by hand. The Dining Hall
no longer bumps to 50% at 21:30.
TV off after 23:30 now only turns off the living room glow instead of
bringing the whole house back to full brightness, and TV on/off leave the
lights alone in daylight. Lights-out moves to 23:30, and a 01:00 sweep
catches anything switched back on at the wall.
