I’m not the best when it comes to home assistant or coding in general. I have tried to set up an automation to fade in a light when I pick up my phone from the charger. The trigger works and it will start to fade in. However after 60 seconds pass, the automation stops at whatever brightness it reac…

[image] Pyrojam: How do you keep the automation going for longer than a minute? You shouldn’t. Automations that run continuously are vulnerable to interruption. Same goes for long pauses. Could you post your code? If you’re turning on a dimmable light the action light.turn_on allows you to s…

Wouldn’t it be easier to use the transition of the light.turn_on action ? action: light.turn_on metadata: {} data: transition: 60 brightness_pct: 100 target: entity_id: light.main_bedroom_light Which means, it will take 60s to go from the current brightness (0% = off) to full brightness (100…

Bonus, doesn’t use device id’s.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I think I saw somewhere you shouldn’t.

I don’t think my bulb has that transition service available. Not in the UI or using your code. Using your code, the light just turns immediately to 100%, completing the automation. Hence why I was using the repeat action. I think it might just be the limitations of the hardware and chalk it up to th…

Avoid device id’s (use entity states and service calls that refer to entities instead) because when you replace a device the device I’d is destroyed meaning you have to edit all automations referencing iy. Use entities

Also search for Ashley’s light fader script. It’s very robust and feature rich.

My automation stops after 1 minute
