Wow!
This appdaemon app just made my whole setup so much sleeker! I noticed this a while ago but couldn’t wrap my mind around how it would cater to my needs, so I started building my own solution (for appdaemon). While building I felt like I needed to check this out again too see if it would save me some time and it did!
For now I’ve automated all my lights both by using time, lux and motion inputs. I’ve also managed to make some custom schedules for the livingroom to turn off lights when a movie is started.
The scheduling part is really dynamic! The only thing i’m missing is a way for the schedules to turn on for a limited time when motion happens. But I solved this by adding custom binary sensors of my real motion sensor that turns off only when the real sensor has been off for 2-3 minutes.
Leaving my current configuration if anyone wonders what it looks like or maybe someone have an idéa of how I could improve it.
