What I am trying to do is to change the color temperature (the kelvins) of a light as soon as it is switched on. I can see that the below automation gets triggered when the lamp switches on. The template does also work however the color temperature does not change. Any idea why?
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: light.eetkamer
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.eetkamer
data_template:
kelvin: >
{% if now().hour >= 0 and now().hour < 6 %}
2200
{% elif now().hour >= 6 and now().hour < 9 %}
4000
{% elif now().hour >= 9 and now().hour < 12 %}
3200
{% elif now().hour >= 12 and now().hour < 16 %}
3000
{% elif now().hour >= 16 and now().hour < 17 %}
2500
{% elif now().hour >= 17 and now().hour < 18 %}
2400
{% elif now().hour >= 18 and now().hour < 19 %}
2300
{% else %}
2200
{% endif %}
Yes I know flux does exists, however that does not work for me, as when flux is running, I cannot reliable switch off the lights any more, which is another issue.
