can you add this?

@joBr99, it could be implemented as the following, in pages.py, before L260:

if entityType == "sun":
    icon_color = rgb_dec565([253, 216, 53])
    if entity.state == "above_horizon":
      icon_id = get_icon_id("weather-sunset-up")
    if entity.state == "below_horizon":
      icon_id = get_icon_id("weather-sunset-down")
    text = get_translation(self._locale, f"backend.component.sun.state._.{entity.state}")
    return f"~text~{entityId}~{icon_id}~{icon_color}~{name}~{text}"

I've just noticed by adding the sun sensor, that long text strings such as "Above Horizon" in french as an example, in the cardEntities, are cut when they are too long. Maybe a line break could be added ?

[joBr99]

Will have a look later, Nextion isn't able to do it automatically, but you can send a string with line breaks, but in cardEntities the text field is probably not tall enough, have to check.

Sure ! I've made a quick PR if it's ok for you #400.
