[SOLVED] Change Tuya (and other) light bulb color and brightness using automation based on time without turning on

All,

I’ve seen a few answers to questions similar to this, but I am still unable to make this work. What I want to do is to set color and brightness for a Tuya bulb based on time.

A simple example is my hallway:
Sunrise to sunset -2h: off, color=white
Sunset -2h to sunset: brightness=5, color=white
Sunset to 10pm: brightness=8, color=rgb 0,0,255
10pm to Sunrise: brightness=2, color=white

But I don’t want to turn the light on. The lights are activated by a motion sensor. I can’t seem to make this work. Nor have I found anything in these forums.

Thanks in advance.

Changing the colour or brightness requires the light to be on.

That’s unfortunate :cry:
Then is there an efficient way of programming the brightness and color when it is triggered, so that I’m not making 4-5 automations depending on the time?

Use something like adaptive lighting to handle it for you?
