Enhance recorder and climate configurations by adding new sensor exclusions and updating automation conditions. Excluded 'sensor.sun_next_*' in recorder.yaml and modified climate automation to use 'target_temp_high' for improved temperature control. Updated Garadget automation to refine state conditions for better home presence detection.
