hi, I’m trying to create an automation that automatically turns light brightness to 100% but only when light is turned on manually and not by my other light automations, I have 2 other automations for my light, they are as follows
1, light turns on at 35% when sun elevation is below a set value
2. when light turned on between 00:00 - 10:00 set brightness to 75%
I would like to create an automation to set brightness to 100% when light turned on manually without affecting the other 2 automations
How is the light turned on manually? Smart switch, dumb switch, dashboard button?
Smart dimmer light switch, Candeo C202 zigbee
So could you have a third automation triggered by that?
sorry I don’t understand
An extra automation using context
sorry that’s foreign to me, how would I do it, here is the entity id for my light: light.light_1
If you use the trigger portion of the automation to respond to the “event” of the button press you can likely get the result you are looking for.
A quick search for the switch you listed got me this:
Yes, you can create custom automations for Candeo C202 button presses in Home Assistant. The device emits distinct events (e.g., single, double, or long press) that can be used as triggers in Home Assistant automations via the Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) or Zigbee2MQTT integration. You can capture these events using the zha_eventormqtt trigger platform and map them to specific actions like turning lights on/off, adjusting brightness, or activating scenes.
I don’t do zigbee so I can’t help much there, but in zwave you can select device as trigger and then choose the “event” you want to listen to.
I know it won’t be the same in zigbeeland, but maybe this can point you in the right direction.
Good luck!
thanks hopefully someone can help me, I’ve never done anything like this before
