PIR activated Light brightness between certain hours

ESPHome
1

Would appreciate any help for this novice esphome user. Having trouble getting the below config to work to:

Turn on light full brightness between 5am & 7am and between 4pm & 9pm.

Turn on light 20% brightness between 9pm & 5am.

Off all other times.

Appreciate any tips :slight_smile:

How could hour be >21 and <5?
or might work better.
Not 100% sure, but I expect that hour is treated just as a number.

Have you looked at Blackies blueprint “Sensor Light” - it’s really powerful, does what you want and more. I use it in our main bathroom, hallway and pantry.

Hallway varies/switches by LUX, and 3x motion sensors, plus difference brightnesses and lamps for time variable. Bathroom varies by time, triggers by motion+presence sensors. Pantry is always the same, triggered by motion only.

Al have wirless bypass buttons on the wall too.

There is heaps of cool options built into it.
