Hi
I wanted to share my first blueprint which works for me (so far) almost perfectly as intended.
It is based on @networkingcat blueprint, but simplified and adjusted to my day/night behavior and needs.
IMPORT BP:
There are many variants of motion activate lights which required light entity and was either fully dependent on hour or sun position. I wanted to have it more like this:
- Day scene is active from sun azimuth (close to sunrise) till specific hour (when we go sleep).
- Night scene is active from specific hour to sun azimuth .
- Ambient scene is active from sun azimuth in evening till some hour.
- Day/Night scene is active only when light sensor have low LUX value (I’m checking outside light so when it’s cloudy then it makes sense to use scene).
You will need only light sensor and some scenes.
blueprint:
name: YAMA Falo Scenes v2
description: >
# YAMA Falo Scenes
Turn on scenes when motion is detected.
Separate scene for day and night
Assumptions:
1. Day scene is active from sun azimuth (close to sunrise) till specific hour (when we go sleep).
2. Night scene is active from specific hour to sun azimuth .
3. Ambient scene is active from sun azimuth in evening till some hour.
4. Day/Night scene is active only when light sensor have low LUX value (I'm checking outside light so when it's cloudy then it makes sense to use scene).
