Configure automation at sunset/sunrise with +/- random delay (+/-15 minutes) + delay between actions

Hello,

I’m new here, I’ve migrating from my current domoticz setup to home assistant.
I’d like to get everything working the same as with domoticz.

Here’s what I’d like :
(1) I’d like to close my roller shutters at sunset (with a +/- 15 minutes random delay)
(2) I’d like to setup a delay between all those shutters (to simulate a human walking to the buttons and pushing them)

Apparently it’s not possible with th GUI which is fine, I’ve read that it could work by adding some manual code… but I don’t know to which files or how to access them…

I thinck part (1) should work as following

• event at sunset
• offset -15min
• delay random 0-30 min

so something like :

 - event: sunset
    platform: sun
    offset: -00:15:00

[...]

- delay:  "{{ '00:%02i:00'%range(01,30) | random }}"

but in which file ? and how to access the file ?

part (2) - delay between actions in an automation - , honestly no idea so looking for help/pointers here

Thanks in advance
