Flux platform improvement

Hi,
I use Flux integration for my lights to achieve circadian rhythm light adjustment. There is a lot of custom solutions for HA to calculate this, I wonder why. The built-in Flux works perfectly. But I’d like to have more power to control it:

  1. Control the brightness the same way how the color. I.e. having “start_”, “stop_”, “sunset_” brightness properties. It is because of different brightness of bulbs in different rooms. The current Flux brightness control is simply not able to fit the desired luminosity.

  2. Immediate reaction to Flux “_update” service. I see delays when calling it, so I guess it still counts with the “transition” and/or “interval” values.

  3. unique_id please :slight_smile:

Thanks,
M.

I came to submit a feature request and found your post. For number 1, are you looking for essentially a max and min brightness? If so, I would like that too. Circadian lighting offers it, but I prefer the color temps from Flux. Wish I could mash the two together easily.

Yes. As every bulb has different brightness and combination of lights in every room light differently when in min or max or adjusted by Flux, I’d like to “tell” the Flux integration what is my desired min and max to achieve balanced and optimal brightness in rooms.

Gotcha, ok I won’t submit a feature request because that’s what I’m looking for too. I think I may switch back to circadian.

Just vote for it up. Thx

Hello, same request here → having the possibility to adjust brightness like the color_temp does.
Thanks to HA developpers.
