I have a working automation that turns on the corridor light based on sunset.
What I try to accomplish is increase the brightness based on motion sensor and decrease the brightness again back to the old state after a few minutes when no motion is detected.
Brightness when light turns on based on sunset: 128
The first part of the automation is working when motion is detected:
- id: sensor_corridor_on
alias: Increase brightness when movement
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.tradfri_motion_sensor_2
to: 'on'
condition:
condition: state
entity_id: light.dimmable_light_1
state: "on"
action:
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.dimmable_light_1
data:
brightness: 254
transition: 3
- id: sensor_corridor_off_3_min
alias: Decrease brightness 3 minutes after last motion
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.tradfri_motion_sensor_2
to: 'off'
for:
minutes: 3
condition:
condition: state
entity_id: light.dimmable_light_1
state: "on"
action:
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.dimmable_light_1
data:
brightness: 128
transition: 15
I understand that last action doesn’t work because light is already on.
How can I decrease brightness when light is on or go back to previous brightness: 128
