Only "sun.sun" is supported for area light sensor

Hi there,
thanks for the update to 4.0.0!
After recreating all creations yesterday I found that the only supported light sensor for controlling the "night" state in an area is sun.sun. Currently I have own binary sensors per room which controlled the night state per room in the previous versions of magic areas. It would be nice to get this feature back, as currently there is no way to control when an area is considered "night" and when not.

What do you think?

It's still there, you just have to set those binary sensors' device class to light for them to show up, also the logic is reversed now, they're considered "light" sensors (i.e. the room is NOT dark).

This is on the release notes

Goodbye dark entity! Dark entity has been renamed to "Area Light Sensor" as most people used a sort of light binary sensor for that. This change now requires this entity to be a binary sensor and also be of device class light. This helps filtering the select for this entity to only light binary sensors and the sun sensor.

Got it thanks for the explanation!

I think you should add a kind of "Breaking Changes:" to the release notes because I haven't seen this tbh.

You're right, In the rush of getting the release out because 3.x was broken I ended up gobbling all changes together in the notes but indeed should have better announced the breaking changes. Will do better next time!
