Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, there is a but though.
Before I explain the “but”, I agree this is something that needs to be resolved and will require some thought and some consideration. I will put it on the list.
Now the “but” or the how to.
- First create an automation using this blueprint.
- Set up your lights as required.
- Create a scene for your dimmed lights. Enter that scene into “Scenes To Turn OFF”.
- Enable the sun condition and adjust your settings to your liking.
- Enable the time options. Set the start time to a time the sun will be above your sun elevation setting. Like 4pm. Then set the end time to 2300.
This will now do the motion part and reset to dim.
Next step
- Download my other blueprint.
Turn Light, Switch or Scene On & Off with Trigger Conditions - Create an automation using this blueprint.
- In "Lights - Switches - Entities - Scenes " enter the dimmed scene used in the first sensor light automation.
- Create another scene with all the light OFF and enter it into “Scenes To Turn OFF”.
- Enable the sun option with the same settings as in the first sensor light automation.
- Enable the time option and set your start time to 23:00:01 (and 1 second).
- Set the end time to 23:00:02 (and 2 second).
This will turn the light ON to the dimmed setting sunset / dusk and turn the lights OFF at 23:00:02.
Your done
Hope this helps
