Another Light Blueprint Automation

Another Light Blueprint Automation.yaml

This is A Blueprint Automation for A Script version available @ Another Light Blueprint Script (Please post any profile suggestions you may have there).

• This Blueprint has 3 input Prerequisites of:

  1. An input_select { Dropdown } with the desired below ‘Profile/s’ (words) added is required { recommend one for each instance of this Automation }.
  2. Another input_select { Dropdown } with the (words) ‘On’ ‘Off’ & ‘Auto’ ( ‘Auto’ if you include a motion sensor ) added is required { recommend one for each instance of this Automation }.
  3. & I’m assuming you already have some Lights that you wanted to add.

• It also has 3 Optional inputs of:

  1. A binary_sensor, Device_class: motion. Is Available for the ‘Auto’ Switch feature { or at-least I am trying to make it so }.
  2. A input_boolean { Toggle } is Available for Global Automations Off { Because I like to have A global Automations off switch }.
  3. A input_boolean { Toggle } is Available for Adaptive Profile Night-Light to work { recommend just the one, that will do }.

• All the other Settings are for the different “Profile” settings ( I know “Profiles”, aren’t scripts )…

Recommend:

• Selecting an “Area” when selecting “Lights” ( It’s easier & requires less maintenance as well the script was designed for this ).
• Create 2 input_selects for each “Area” ( room ) called:
  1. ‘area_name’ Lights Switch
  2. ‘area_name’ Lights Profile

# Example Config

  office_lights_switch:
    name: Office Lights Switch
    options:
      - "Auto"
      - "Off"
      - "On"
    initial: Auto

• Go to Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers > Create Helper > { Dropdown } &or { Toggle }.

Description of this version’s “Profiles”:

• Bright
  _{For Day time & Events, when you need to be Awake; Bright eyed & bushy tailed}

• Dimmed
  _{For after sunset & before sunrise when i’m (still) thinking about bed, but I would want to be able to read the Funny pages}

• Night-Light
  _{For bed/sleep time, & you don’t want to wake everyone else up, but you still want to see in an emergency; how to get to the Fridge}

• Colour-Loop
  _{Will put the Lights into A Colour-Loop cycle.}

• Circadian
  _{For the rest of the house at night, & to get everyone in sync @ night with you.}

• Adaptive
  _{This works really well with a bed/sleep input_boolean}

• Random
  _{Best for multiple lights, & will give Random colours for each light.}

• Themed
  _{Theme different rooms, with different colours; with a change every so often.}

• Custom
  _{Used for applying custom colour effects, it only has the Transition effect enabled}

• Aurora
  _{Best for multiple lights, & will give different colours loops for each light.}

• Flash
  _{works great in conjunction with Alarm Panel Automations or getting people’s attention.}

• None
  _{Utilise this when using ‘Scenes’ & if you need to disable the light.turn_on Service Call.}

• .
  _{Will halt the automation.}

There is A switch only version of the Automation available @ Another [HAssNic’s] Trigger Automation

P.s. Sorry to anyone that download A previous version, I have renamed A lot of the input’s so you will need to redo your yaml settings… (but it’s well worth it, I have drastically improved everything).
Merry Christmas
