📋 Blueprint Description
This Blueprint solves the issue of blinding night lights or lights that turn off suddenly while you are still in the room. It is designed to create a dimmed light path triggered only when truly needed.
- Hybrid Control: You can choose to run the automation during a fixed time frame (e.g., 11 PM - 6 AM) or based strictly on the sun's position (from sunset to sunrise).
- Advanced Presence Management: Not just simple motion sensors, but full support for presence and occupancy sensors to prevent unwanted turn-offs.
✨ Key Features
- 🌙 Smart Night Mode: Conditional activation via "Use Sunset/Sunrise" toggle or custom time slots.
- 💡 Dimmable Brightness: Set a specific lighting percentage (e.g., 10%) to avoid eye strain.
- ⏳ Courtesy Timer: User-adjustable off-delay for a smooth transition.
- 🔄 Restart Logic: The automation resets the off-timer every time new presence is detected, ensuring lights stay on as long as you are in the area.
- 🎯 Flexible Targeting: Supports single lights, light groups, or entire areas.
🛠 Requirements
- Sun Integration: The
sun.sunintegration must be active (standard in Home Assistant). - Binary Sensor: A motion, presence, or occupancy sensor.
- Dimmable Lights: To fully enjoy the low-brightness feature.
🚀 Installation
- Click the Import in Home Assistant button above.
