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?
It’s got a nice component to go with it, so setting up is easier. I particularly use it for scheduling thermostats, and find it much more user friendly. Sure I could do it with automations, but I’d either have one, massively unwieldy one with lots of states and triggers, or lots of individual ones.
I need it to do the thermostat to, but isn't there any (nice) chrono-thermostat ready to use?

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.
@retrieval4558
Yes, I was referring to schedules where you cannot use the sun. Sun related automations work very reliably for me.
Nice! Thanks!
