Thanks for your kind words.
I can see that being a nice feature. I will add it to the list… keep an eye out for an update.

@Blacky is the sync function supposed to work for dim levels? It doesnt seem to keep them in sync… i have 4 dimmers and its not working to keep them the same dim level
Thanks for fixing the problem.
No problem at all, thanks for reporting the bug.

Hello Blacky,
Thanks for all your Home Assistant blueprints, they power a good percentage of my house.
Question about the automation mode and intended use of this blueprint.
The automation is set as:
mode: restart
Which means that if I have multiple unrelated lights as triggers, if a new one turns on, it will stop any timers currently running? Does this mean that the blueprint is intended to create a separate automation for each group of related light(s)?
Do you think it would be suitable to change the mode to parallel if it was to be used with many independent lights as triggers?
Thanks,
Rex
Your welcome, glad it helps you out.
Why would you have unrelated lights as a trigger. Why not only use the lights you would like to trigger the automation?
It will restart the timer.
It just uses the light as a trigger and then turns it OFF after a set time if you chosen that option. The motion sensor option will keep the light ON and reset the timer.
Example of use. You using my sensor light blueprint to turn ON some lights but you also have a reading lamp you turn ON every now and then. When you turn the lamp ON manually and you use the motion sensor option with the same time delay set in your sensor light blueprint all your lights will stay ON when notion is detected. When you leave the room all the lights will turn OFF including the lamp you manually turned ON.
No, it is designed for a restart.

Thanks for the clarification. I had misunderstood it’s design intent.

Hey Blacky,
I found this blueprint and I think it fits perfectly with my question in Sensor Lights that you recently answered. The only thing missing is the option with the position of the sun. Wouldn’t that be an idea to include it here? It could also be a kind of addon to Sensor Lights.
Thanks for your suggestion, I will put it onto the list to look at.

Also wondering it this can be time based. A simple “run only between 6pm and 9pm” would be great. Is it possible to do this in some other way currently?
@Blacky this fits into the category ‘bypass entity’ which would be very valuable. I use physical buttons for bypasses, but I can definitely see I could use sun position (dusk, dawn, twilight, etc) and/or time of day as a bypass for some lights.
This is the blueprint your after then;
Smart Light - Entity - Sun Elevation - Ambient & Time Triggers

This is a simple manual ON and then Auto OFF. You decide when to turn it ON.

I saw that one, cool blueprint, thanks for the pointer! Perhaps I’m not seeing it, but I don’t see a way to get it to do “manual on, auto off after 10mins only during 6am - 4pm”. If there’s a way, would love to know.
Thank you for all your great blueprints!
If the Blueprint doesn’t do this natively you could work around it by creating a separate automation(s) to disable / enable the light control automation around the time ls you want…
So disable at 1600, the re-enable at 0600…that should do what you want…
Ah of course, I’d forgotten automations can be disabled and enabled. Perfect, that’s all I needed, thanks a bunch for pointing this out!

It would be great if you could add additional conditions, for example, to run the automation only during certain times.
