Need To Confirm Scene As Automation Condition

[HouseOfCards]

Yeah. LOL

It seems to just be the rabbit hole that appeared when I found a need to do an automation based on the scene applied… To control the automation, you need to set the scene, and setting the scene does just that… It sets the lighting…

In this one instance though, I need HA to realize that it’s morning again, without turning on the lights when I may be still sleeping. It wouldn’t be necessary if I got up at 5:00 AM every day and turned on the lights (daytime) with the wall switch… It falls apart when you’re sleeping in, the sun comes up, and you start doing things… If you do that, then the room keeps reacting as though it’s night time because that’s the last thing it knows you set…

This is more/less a safety valve for when that happens…

Make a time or sun condition to prevent the automation from running when you set the input select to bright.

If I did that, if I happened to get up at 3:00 AM and press the button to turn on the room lights to bright, they wouldn’t work. The only solution I found that worked was what I outlined. A one time reset each day which runs during the “sunrise” scene. The only time that would be an issue is if I did something with the lights at the minute of sunrise in the morning. That’s a lot less likely.
