I am new to home assistant and setup a homekit brdige.
However, I’d like to make things more user friendly for other members of the household. We have a wake light automation that exists in home assistant with the following inputs:
- Time of day and which days to trigger the automation
- Starting Color (color of the light when its initially turned on)
- Ending Color (color of the light at the end of the automation. It slows goes from the starting color to ending color)
- Duration (i.e. gradually increase the light brightness over 1 hour)
I’m struggling with 2 things:
-
Manually triggering the Home Assistant automation from Homekit. It seems that when I trigger it from homekit, it actually just toggles the automation on/off, it doesnt actually run actions. Is there a way to change this? This would allow me to atleast control the alarm clock timing from Homekit which would be great for others
-
Is there any way to control those other setting I mentioned above from Homekit like start/end colors and wake light duration to use them as input to the Home Assistant automation?
