I created my first two scenes. One for “evening” and one for “bedtime”. “Evening” sets bedroom lamp to brightness 100% and then bedtime sets brightness to 40%. So far, so good.
Then, wife goes to bed early. Uses app to turn off lamp. Then, “bedtime” automation fires and turns lamp back on. WAF reduced.
How should I approach the blending of scenes/automation and manual overrides? Or am I using scenes the wrong way?
Thank you
Sounds like you may need to set a condition that if the light is off, leave it off.
Post your automation and scenes and we can try and help.
Yeah your trigger is causing the automation to fire so you need to use a condition to fix that.
Ah okay, so conditions is the way to handle this… And if I’ve got a bunch of lights in that bedtime scene that exist in different rooms, then it seems like a pretty complex set of conditions. Perhaps, I should simplify the scenes to streamline.
Thank you, gents…
