Light automation at certain time

Configuration
1

Hello, I am quite new in homeassistant. I add many devices in my home via many different integrations.

I set some simple automations like one light trigger other and so on, really simple, dont laugh pls :smiley:

but, i am very enthusiastic about it.

Can you please tell me, how to set my bathroom light on warm white and 1% brightness if they are turned on between 23:00 - 5:00? I dont event know where I should paste or use any code…

I know that i am newbie, but if u have time for little explanation or any kind of help, I would appreciate that so hard.

Anyways, thanks.
Alex.

this will do it assuming your light supports setting the color. however a big caveat is that this detects when the light is turned on and triggers quickly after it is turned on. if your light bulb is connected to a physical switch, i don’t know of a way for homeassistant to catch and set the brightness and color before it actually turns on.

in terms of where to put this, go to settings->automations->create automation->edit in yaml

then paste this code in there replacing the default empty automation. be sure to replace the light.your_light_entity_name with the actual name of your light entity.
