New Feature :new:

Changes to Scenes & Scripts

We have added three new inputs.

  • Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper
  • Night Lights - Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper
  • Yes - Manage OFF script when crossing over

The purpose of adding these inputs is to ensure the proper functioning of automations when using scenes or scripts. The benefits of adding these inputs include:

  • You can now adjust the lights associated with your scenes and scripts after they have been activated, preventing them from resetting with each trigger.
  • With the addition of these inputs, you can create glow lights for night settings within a single automation, eliminating the need for multiple automations. A detailed guide on this process can be found Here.
  • When using scenes or scripts in conjunction with ambient options, selecting “Yes” for your site conditions will ensure that your lights remain on when the LUX value goes high.
  • There’s no longer a requirement to add just one entity in “Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts” or “Night Light”. Simply incorporate a toggle helper into the new “Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper” inputs.
  • By including “Yes - Manage OFF script when crossing over” in the night lights lighting control options, you can ensure that a script runs smoothly when transitioning between normal lights and night lights, even when the lights are off, allowing for different OFF settings to be applied.
  • Home Assistant (HA) restarts will now recognize whether your scenes or scripts lights are ON and perform the correct actions. This feature can also be helpful when using lights or switches on different platforms, as HA may take longer to recognize their ON status after a restart.

Maintenance :toolbox:

  • From your feedback to create a manual we have updated a lot of input descriptions to better help understand what they do and also provided more links directly to the blueprint FAQ’s. This will hopefully help you find what you are looking for when setting it up.
  • Code realignment.
