Hope this helps you.

Thank you. Created the new binary sensor group. We will see if that helps. Also found the update method, very simple. I should have checked for this first.

No problem at all, happy to help.

Enjoy

Hey,

The call to script is pretty standard:

service: script.light_transition
data:
  target_lights: light.tv_spot_nanoleaf_bulb
  to_brightness_pct: 90
  seconds_of_transition: 7

But the blueprint doesnt allow the addition of data when using a script as Target Entity. Maybe an option could be added there.
ex:

description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: freakshock88/motion_illuminance_activated_entity.yaml
  input:
    target_entity: script.light_transition
    target_data: {} # this option could be added to allow sending data to the script
    motion_sensor: binary_sensor.motion_wc

Hello,

thank you Blacky for this nice blueprint, which is full of useful features.

My question: I configured a night scene/night brightness for our kitchen light. In some occasions i want the light to be brighter, so i adjust it with a dimmer switch, or select a brighter scene with a physical switch. If the sensor gets the next occupancy it goes back to the night scene/night brightness, this is happening every 10 or 20 seconds.
Is there a way to leave the light at the brighter scene/brightness status for at least the time of the configured time delay ?

Thank you

Glad you like it :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

No problem at all.

Thanks for your question. I have been thinking about this and you got me thinking again. The only thing I can see being a problem in the development of this new feature is when we use scenes as they are a different beast.

Currently without using the by-pass, no.

Not promising anything but let me look into it further.

is it possible to add a entity for blocking the light.
If entity = true than block trigger light?

Hi @willihaus

Update: I have had a look at it and as expected scenes are a beast. I am going to push out a new release soon once all the testing has been done but scenes are yet to be resolved. I will continue to work on it so stay tuned.

Hi Daniel, could you explain your use case?

New update 3.5

New Features :new:

  • Manual control of lights once they are ON. You can now manually adjust your lights once they are ON and they will no longer be reset to the automation settings on every trigger. The manual setting will remain this way until the lights are turned OFF manually or by the automation. Once OFF, the next trigger will reset the lights back to the automation setting. This will hopefully deliver a better user experience.

The new feature will work with lights and switches. We included switches just in case you have lights on switches that can be manually controlled once they are ON.

The new feature doesn’t work with scenes, and is a known issue. Work will be done to try and resolve this.

Breaking Change :broken_heart:

  • When crossing over from normal lights to night lights and from night lights to normal lights. If the lights are ON already, they will remain in the state they are in until the lights are turned OFF manually or by the automation. Once OFF, the next trigger will reset the lights back to the automation setting. Light control will no longer adjust the lights to the new setting when this happens. This may be a preferred option anyway as you could be up later on the odd occasion and would like the lights to remain as is. If different lights are selected, the different lights will still turn OFF so the lights don’t remain in the ON state once the automation times out and turns your lights OFF.

Enjoy

usecass 1.
When I bring my kids to bed and open then the dor, the multisensor trigger the light and than she are awake.
usecase 2.
if friends are here, the light trigger always in the anteroom

Could you use the bypass? This will block the trigger.

Use case 1 = Bed pressure sensor, turns on the by-pass.

Use case 2 = Turn on by-pass.

I think this is the same thing you are asking for “by-pass”. The by-pass blocks the trigger.

thanks then I missunderstand this. I tought this is for permanent on

No problem.

You also have a few options on what to do if light is on when you turn the by-pass on. I would say for the bed one you would select “Enable the By-pass - If lights are ON, turn lights OFF”. This way it will turn the lights off.

You also have a “By-pass Time Delay” setting. If you set it to “0” it will turn the lights off instantly.

Sorry for the delay in replying, but life got in the way! This suggestion worked fine since I set it up in one room a couple of days ago. I’ll keep a eye on it for a while, so thanks for all the suggestions!
