I’ll cut right to it without all the newb prefacing…
Is there a way to write a generic script that automations can use to store a bulb’s current RGB value and brightness for later reference?
I would like to have lights indicate by color when a trigger occurs, but then return to their original state after a set period of time. It would be great to use the same script for multiple light sources.
Save a scene before applying your light indicator. Restore the scene afterwards. See https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/scene/#creating-scenes-on-the-fly
I’m having trouble figuring out how to snapshot the various conditions of the entities that I would like to reset. The link shows a few examples, but I can’t follow the syntax in the YAML file to insert my own code.
I’ve tried calling the Scene: Create for a light, but it will only snapshot the on/off state. And, I’m not clear on which service call I need to make at the end to restore the temporary scene.
What I’m trying to do is: turn a light red for 5 seconds while TTS-ing a speaker, and then reset the light to its color and brightness before the contact was opened.
Thanks for the assistance
