New Feature ![]()
Dynamic lighting
I have updated LUX brightness from all your feedback and my own experiences. No longer will the brightness jump up and down to then when it gets close just change ever so slightly… that can be annoying. You now can take back control of your lighting transition to a more suitable setting and let dynamic lighting do the rest. If your lights only support brightness then that is no longer a problem, you can now slow it down using the step value. The “Dead Zone” is a ± value that realy helps. Think of it like this; Say the dynamic lighting would like to set your lights at 88%, if your dead zone is 7% then if your actual light brightness is in the range (“Dead Zone”) of 81% to 95% then your lights will not change the brightness value. 7% seams high but I have found when testing it is only realy less than 7% of what it should be and is not noticeable. The defaults have been set but you will need to adjust them to your liking.
Below is what been added to dynamic lighting.
- Step Value - With every heartbeat, the system evaluates the lux value, light brightness, and the targeted brightness. If the targeted brightness surpasses the predefined step value, the system applies the set step value to gracefully moderate the rate of changes, facilitating a smoother transition in light brightness.
- Dead Zone - With every heartbeat, the system evaluates the current light brightness and the targeted brightness. If the targeted brightness falls within the defined dead zone, the system maintains the current light brightness. This prevents minor fluctuations in light intensity that could be bothersome to the eye.
- Option 6 - Sun Elevation Lighting - Colour Temp + Lux Controlled Brightness. New option added for you light control.
Scripts
- You are able to run a script at the end like we already do with scenes. All you have to do is put your script in “Scenes - Scripts To Turn OFF” and when the automation turns OFF it will run the end script.
Maintenance ![]()
- General code clean up - Just doing some housekeeping.
Bugs Fixed ![]()
- By-pass auto OFF – When all three by-passes were ON, option 3 would not turn OFF due to an automation timing issue.
- Auto OFF Enabled – When two or three were ON and one was turned OFF manually the by-pass auto off would not work.
- HA Restart - By-pass options.
