Very nice automation! Is it possible to have this automation running only active when homealarm is disarmed? Second, I would like to disable the timer, so when I am at home the scene (at designated time) comes on when lux is below X, is this possible?
Greetings
Love this automation, in theory it does everything I need - but I am struggling to get it to run consistently and suspect its my config. I have a Hue outside motion senor which I use to trigger it. I want an ambient scene (e.g. outside warm lighting scene) on from when it gets dark, and then when motion is detected I want a âsecurityâ scene (e.g. outside security lighting scene). After the security scene has been running for 120 seconds, I want the ambient / warm scene to return. Try as I might, I canât get the ambient scene to come back after the security scene - I just canât work it out. Am I even using the right automation?
Hi, all what this blueprint has I want it: time zones, lux and motion. But I donât want scenes but only set the brightness of the light.
Im new to home assistant and yaml and I canât get it working what is wrong with this code?

would it be possible to add separate wait times for each of the 4 scenes?
Really good blue print. But I was wondering, is it possible to not have âWait timeâ. I dont want the lights to be turned off at all after being triggered.
Edit.
I didnt get this one to work afterall. Automation is triggered by motion. But the light wont turn on. Do I need scenes in order for this automation to work?

Hello, nice blueprint! but can we add option to trigger scene on motion only when its dark in room?
have been using this for ages but really need the lights to dim down to a lower brightness for 5 -10 seconds to warn that they will be turning off, I changed the blueprint at the end from
default:
to
default:
which works fine but now the illuminance part of the blueprint is not working correctly.
can any please help
thanks
