New update 7.0

Your lighting experience, your way – take control and customize it to perfection!

Hi all,

A lot of work has gone into this update, and we’ve finally added RGB to light control! While it’s not a breaking change, some adjustments are needed to ensure your automations functions as intended (see below). A big thank you to everyone who has supported me in the past! If you haven’t yet supported my work, I hope you’ll consider doing so Click Here I have more updates planned, so stay tuned.

Let us know what you think.

Enjoy

If you’re using “Colour Temperature” in light control, please read the information below before updating the blueprint. While this is not a breaking change, maintaining clean code will ensure the smooth operation of this blueprint.

LIGHT CONTROL UPDATE

• New Input Option

  • Light Colour: You now have the option to select RGB, RGBW or RGBWW in your light control option.

• Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed bugs when using dynamic lighting and transition from normal lights to night lights and vice versa.

STEPS REQUIRED WHEN UPGRADING

If you’re using “Colour Temperature” in light control, please read the information below before updating the blueprint. If you are not using “Colour Temperature” in light control, then there is no need to read any further and you can update without doing anything.

Before Updating Steps

If you’re reading this and haven’t updated yet, follow these simple steps to ensure the smooth operation of this blueprint:

1. Navigate to Settings > Automation > Filters (top right) > Blueprints and select this sensor light blueprint. You will see a list of automations that use this blueprint.
2. For each automation, deselect “Colour Temperature” for both normal lights and night lights. Record which automations had “Colour Temperature” deselected and whether it was for normal lights, night lights, or both.
3. Update the blueprint.
4. Repeat step 1, then reselect “Colour Temperature” for normal lights and night lights in each automation where you previously deselected it.
5. Once all automations are updated, you’re done!

If You Have Already Updated Steps

If you have already pushed the update button, don’t stress—just follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to Settings > Automation > Filters (top right) > Blueprints and select this sensor light blueprint. You will see a list of automations that use this blueprint.

2. For each automation, click the three dots in the top right and select “Edit in YAML”. Look for the following lines of code, which indicate if you selected to use “Colour Temperature”:

   • Under "include_light_control:", look for "- use_colour_temperature".
   • Under "include_night_light_control:", look for "- use_colour_temperature".
   

3. If these lines are present, record where you have selected to ‘Use Colour Temperature’. Delete these lines of code as shown below, then click save.

   

4. Next, select the three dots again and choose “Edit in visual editor”. Reselect “Colour Temperature” for normal lights and night lights in each automation where you previously deleted the code, then click save.

5. Repeat the above steps for each automation until all are updated. You’re all done!
