The situation is that at night, there is enough light that the IR while set to auto does not go into IR mode.
Things look better in IR mode, and while I can turn it on, I have to remember to turn it off.
I guess this would be for a wishlist but do not know where to put the request.
I think it would be great to schedule the IR filter for sunset and sunrise.
Any other ideas?
Yep, that would be a great addition to the Rules Actions which is currently not available.

Also remember that with the V3 camera, there is also a setting that sets how dark it needs to be before the camera switches to night mode. The selections are: Dusk and Dark. If set to Dark, it has to be REALLY dark before it will switch. For your situation, the Dusk setting may be better.
I do have it set to dusk, but I need to be able to schedule IR on and off.
