Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.

Im using this with Apple TV ver3, and it works reasonably well, but there is no feature where this routine is only active when, for example, the sun has set, or other options, such as if one’s light sensor indicates that it’s dark outside.

I could add a custom condition. Is this fine for your needs?

yes pls a condition would be nice thx for the Blueprint

Yeah the ability to add a condition would be great

Thank you for the blueprint, I’d like custom conditions and trigger too. So I can check the sun elevation if the light should really be turned on.

Sorry guys for the late update. I’d renewed the logic and add the wanted custom condition. Also the file name changed. So, import the new blueprint and set your entities.

Feel free to give feedback and thoughts.

Nice BP!

If you expand the BP functions please consider expanding to include all of the above situations. I automation for 6 states. I suspect many others do something similar:

  1. System On (Power On) : multiple lights go on to 50%
  2. Movie Start (Play) : all lights turn Off
  3. Intermission (Pause) : some lights to go 10%
  4. Movie End (Stop) : some lights to go 20%
  5. System Off (Power Off) : some lights go to 50%, then all turn off after 10 minutes
  6. Special Occasion (sets some lights to specific levels differently during Play, Pause, and Stop – light our 2nd row light stays at 10% while ‘Dinner scene’ toggle is On.

‘Special Occasion’ is when you want a little lighting for activities like eating.

a. Special Occasion Bypass Entity (Physical Switch and/or Helper)

b. When Bypass is turned On:
Lights you want on and to what level: on/off/dim, rgb color, etc
– can be multiple lights.
Example: 2nd row ceiling lights to 10% dim level & RGB LED strips to Blue, 20% dim level

c. When Bypass is turned Off: select BP State to revert to On or Off
