Thanks so much, I finally got it functioning as it should. My lux value is going up and down and constantly triggering the threshold value. Iāve set it a bit lower and it seems to function quite well. Now letās dive in the night light and dynamic lighting settings!
Hi Blacky! Thanks for this wonderful, state-of-the-art piece of craftmanship youāve put up together here, brilliant work! Iāve ditched all of my light automations and switched to yours one. Currently every single light bulb in my house is controlled with this blueprint.
After playing with those for more than a month now, scrolling back and forth through this forum - Iām still finding myself with a bunch of questions Iād like throwing, hope youāll find a minute!
So here they come:
-
Any ideas how to implement light triggered by motion sensor, but then maintained by presence one? In some of my rooms I have a pair of motion+presence and experienced false positives coming from presence sensors. Was wondering how to smooth them out
-
Currently Iām using Dynamic Light Lux-based Inverted, since I like seeing the high-to-low brightness slope, but was wondering do you have any ideas (or plans maybe?) for implementing āAdaptive Lightā-alike functionality for gaussian-alike brightness curve, that could gradually increase and then decrease depending on LUX, time or other factors?
-
Have you been trying to marry your blueprint with Adapative Lightning by any chance? Iāve tried running them both and they sorta work, but after your blueprint kicking in, second lighter AL would adjust brightness resulting in flickering symptom. Not cool. So was wondering how to squeeze best of two worlds.
-
Iām having some problems with Nanoleaf-wood lights, where upon turning on, they ramp up quickly with brightness, to then slowly dash downward to whatever Iāve configured. Gimmick is, these are my staircase night-helpers, so it kinda hurts to get smacked by all those lumens during night. Could I share my YAML here maybe?
-
Another issue I have is that, I really could never get āBypass STOP / aka Keep current lightsā to work. Iāve got binary_sensor being set to True, but regardless light will still trigger. Had to eventually work around that by enabling/disabling light automation, but wondered how else could I troubleshoot it?
-
I think it could be worth stating in blueprint docs, that when using Time trigger, that would need to encompass Night Time period as well, otherwise when time_enabled and doesnāt include the night, night mode wonāt kick in. At least thatās what Iāve learned the hard way.
-
Any plans on adding maybe another field like āCustom Actionā to run whenever light turns ON or turns OFF? I really like the logic you came up with and would love to jack in there with my actions if possible!
Would love to hear your thoughts on above ones!
Big fan of all the things you share to the community, Blacky!
Best regards,
Mariusz.
PRESENCE SENSOR JUST NOT WORKING: Hi @Blacky. I highlighted the topic here so I could follow it more easily.
As you know Iāve been using this automation for months and love it. Iām using a combination of motion and lately, powered (5v) radar presence sensors. Sometimes a helper group containing a presence sensor (using both its motion and presence entities) and a motion sensor is what triggers the automation. The presence sensor is one of several different models Iāve purchased from https://docs.screek.io/., a small Shenzhen company who is making reasonably priced innovative sensors.
The problem is not the triggering. The problem is the presistence of the light switch remaining on while the person remains in the zone. I have changed sensors to eliminate a hardware issue. Iāve changed sensor settings, deleted and re-created the automation several times, made sure Iām using the most current version of the automation. Iāve simplified the automation taking out luminence. Iāve made sure All Sensors is not enabled in the group settings. Yet, the problem persists.
Using this card, I can watch the 3 sensor entities in the hall. The three are comprised of:
- An Aeotec Multi-sensor 6 for sensing motion
- Currently the SCREEK F2 a 24G radar based on an LD2410 chip. This provides both motion and presence info.
Together, they form the Occupancy Group, the entry on the bottom. I move into the front hall, all 4 lights go on. The z-wave switch turns on the light. I remain there, moving around. All 4 lights entities remain on. But then after a minute or so, the light goes off.
Iāve been struggling with this for over a month, trying to work it out, but itās making no sense to me at all. Do yo have any ideas?

Thanks for your kind words.
I will try and go through each point.
1 - You have to group them.
2 - I have never looked at gaussian-alike brightness curve. I have looked at time but I got distracted and put it on the back burner.
3 - I have never used Adaptive Lightning but I know some people have used it with success.
4 - When the automation turns the light ON is just sends the data you requested example 10%. Dynamic lighting option can send data high first then slowly adjust lower so for night time if using dynamic lighting try just setting a set value and donāt use dynamic lighting. If you are not using dynamic lighting then if the light goes 100% to then your set value of say 10% it will be in your light not the automation.
5 - Could you please provide us your YAML of the automation? This YAML code are the settings you have selected in the automation so I can help. To do this go into your automation, top right 3 dots, Edit in YAML, copy all the code, come back to the forum and in your reply at the top tool bar click on ā</>ā and paste code in there.
6 - Have a look at the link in the time condition. I takes you to exactly what your are asking with a and a in the example.
7 - It may not look like it but this blueprint has a lot of scenarios (moving parts) and I have tried to make them all work together even linking other blueprints of mine. If I added actions it could prevent it from working correctly. What actions are you trying to do?

Hello Harry
Everything you are doing appears to be good.
If you can hold your phone and walk around seeing that the group is ON and the light goes OFF there are a few things that we can test.
- Create a toggle helper. Then go into the automation and edit in YAML. Change / replace your group ID with the toggle helper ID and click save. Then toggle ON the helper and your lights should turn ON and stay ON until you toggle the helper OFF.
- When you leave it ON if your lights turn OFF make sure another automation didnāt trigger and turned it OFF. Go to point 2
- If they stay ON then you will know the problem is in the group helper and or sensors in the group. Go to point 3
- When you leave the helper ON and your lights turn OFF: You can look in the history to see what turned it OFF or you can go into the automation and look at the ālast triggeredā column and look for a automation that was just triggered.
- Add you group back in removing the toggle helper. Then trigger it again and follow point 2. If you canāt find anything delete the group. Reboot system, not a restart but a reboot. Create a new group with a different name so you get a fresh entity ID. Make sure everything is correct in the groupā¦ add it in and test it
Let us know how you go.
Blacky
Hi.
Im using this to control my bathrooms lights, however I find it annoying when entering at night and the lights turns on.
I could ofcourse set it only to work at night, but if Im actually awake and goes to the bathroom I want them to work so I dont want a fixed time.
I think what would be perfect is to only turn on the lights in the bathroom only when the lights outside of the bathroom is turned on. Is this possible to do?
- Create a toggle helper. Then go into the automation and edit in YAML. Change / replace your group ID with the toggle helper ID and click save. Then toggle ON the helper and your lights should turn ON and stay ON until you toggle the helper OFF.
DONE
- When you leave it ON if your lights turn OFF make sure another automation didnāt trigger and turned it OFF. Go to point 2
LIGHTS STAYED ON. Only other automation that triggers that switch is the front door opening and closing using your automation. That automation works great.
- If they stay ON then you will know the problem is in the group helper and or sensors in the group. Go to point 3
2. When you leave the helper ON and your lights turn OFF: You can look in the history to see what turned it OFF or you can go into the automation and look at the ālast triggeredā column and look for a automation that was just triggered.
- Add you group back in removing the toggle helper. Then trigger it again and follow point 2. If you canāt find anything delete the group. Reboot system, not a restart but a reboot. Create a new group with a different name so you get a fresh entity ID. Make sure everything is correct in the groupā¦ add it in and test it
I have now deleted both the old group and the toggle helper. I then rebooted. Going to create a new group with only one hardware device at a time and see what happens.
Thanks Blacky
Hi @Blacky! Thanks for finding time to address my questions.
Let me write you back on them:
-
I do use groups to figure out movement/presence based on multiple sources, but that doesnāt address my use case. I want the motion to turn ON the lights and then presence to keep them ON. Any idea how that could be implemented?
-
Yes, thatās probably something to do with my light, will troubleshoot, thanks!
-
Hereās YAML for my dining room presence-based light. The last line points to the binary_sensor that when turned ON, should prevent automation from doing anything:

- With regards to custom actions, I was thinking to implement my own logic for ensuring trigger wasnāt a false positive (I use presence sensors, they tend to turn on my lights ever now and then without anyone being in room, I wanted to pop in some actions resulting in full STOP preventing automation from triggering when I sense nobodyās in the room)
8. Also, would have forgot, recently I started observing some exceptions getting thrown from some of the automations based on the blueprint, would you mind taking a look?

Anything stands out here?
You could use night lights. Then create a script for night lights an use a if-then-else action. So if the outside lights are on turn on light else turn off light.
Hope this helps you.
Blacky
No problem. At least you are on a path to find out what is wrong. We know the automation works. Hope you can find it and if you need any help please ask.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Blacky
No problem.
1 - Currently you have to use group. 99% of the time your motion will turn ON the light as they react faster then presence sensors. If your presence is ON it is irrelevant if motion is ON or not. However if you would like to do what you are asking you will need to create a template sensors that will handle your action.
3 - all looks okay the only thing is to check your bypass has a ON and OFF state. It must stay ON to keep the bypass active.
7 - This would be a condition not a action. So you can create a template sensor and use it in the bypass. I can see in my head that you will be up for challenges and conflicts. I personalty would make my presence sensor work correctly.
8 - You are using a scene for dynamic lighting and you canāt do that. It must be a light entity that has the ability to preform that actions you are requesting.

Hi @Blacky ,
Thanks for your replies. Iāve started experiencing more and more issues lately, resulting with exceptions I canāt really nail down myself. Could you help me out, Iām lossing my mind here?

Problem/Question 3:
Iām using Dynamic Lightning - Lux Controlled Inverted. I would like to have the light start at 100% brightness when outdoor LUX surpasses certain threshold, and then gradually decrease onto letās say 40%.
That being said, I want the minimal brightness to reach 40% and then not go any lower.
When I set dynamic_lighting_min_brightness: 40
the light turns ON randomly during the day - even during morning, when outdoor LUX has like 30kLUX.
Any ideas how to achieve that?
Question 4
Is it possible to prevent blueprint from turning OFF lights that werenāt turned on automatically? Use case:
- Iām outside the Kitchen. Then I turn on kitchen lights using Hue Mobile App.
- Then I enter kitchen.
- I want them to stay for as long as I need (regardless what kitchen sensors say)
Any ideas how to make something like this happen?
Best,
Mariusz.
Hi,
I have 3 Shelly motion sensors that I have combined into a group as my trigger. The daytime timing schedule seems to work fine but the night time doesnāt work (lights donāt turn on). Any ideas why this is like this?

Sure lets see how we go.
You cant use a scene. A lot of information on dynamic lighting can be found in the FAQ. Here is the link directly to it. You will have to expand the settings areas to see all of it.
You have your āDynamic Lighting - Min Lux Valueā set to ā0ā. You will need to change it to a min value or ā0ā = lights OFF.
Have a read of the FAQ and see if that helps you. It has graphs and everything you will need to know.
You will need to use a bypass for this.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks for your YAML. Your global time has to include your night time. So your global time from 16:00 to 23.59.59 has to be 16:00 to 8:59. Next to time in the blueprint is a link for more information. If you click on it it will give you more information on it.
Let us know how you go.

Makes sense now Thanks
Nice oneā¦ glad you are up and running.
Enjoy

Hi, first of all thank you for the great work, this is a very handy blueprint making our lives easier!!!
I have set this up to turn a kids bathroom light on upon trigger of a motion sensor - everything works fine but the lights donāt Turn OFF; Iāve set time delay to 1min. I did check the state of the motion sensor does return to āclearā but still the lights donāt turn off. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
