OK, I have what I feel is a pretty simple need but I have totally failed to find the answer to what I’m looking for.
I would like to use light schedules to define brightness and colour temperature for different times of the day. I have created a helper schedule, populated it using the UI and entered the brightness and colour temperature values in the Additional information. So far, so good.
What I would like is any time a light is switched on, for it to read that schedule and determine its brightness & colour temperature. I have smart downlights (Philips Hue) wired to smart switches (Clipsal Wiser) and automations set up that keep the light status and switch status in sync so it doesn’t matter whether the switch is activated manually, via HA or the light activated via HA, the automation runs.
For the life of me though, I can’t work out how to integrate the schedule that I have created.
To be clear, I don’t want to use the schedule to automate lights turning on and off, just their brightness and colour temperature.
Is what I would like to do possible? Please help. TIA.
As an aside, the above is further confused by Light Profiles, which can easily be selected in an automation but do not contain time of day information.
