I worked to configure this blueprint yesterday but when I had saved it, my Energy Dashboard stopped working correctly. The Electricity Usage and Solar Production graphs no longer worked although all the source information was maintained correctly.
Has anyone else encountered this?
A restore from backup fixed the Energy dashboard but now I am not sure whether to try again with the Sensor Light blueprint.
Sorry I just getting confused on what your trying to do. In any event Dynamic lighting only works for normal lights. If your using a sun elevation option it will only work when it is above -10 as below -10 it should be dark already.

I am on 2025.4.2 and tested it (your YAML)ā¦ all works perfectly.
You have a few things.
You will need to go through your settings and make sure it is doing what your after.

Iām not sure of your exact settings, but try this:
This helps isolate the behavior by removing any influence from Dynamic Lighting, so you can confirm the lights respond correctly to basic settings.
Once youāre confident the lights are turning on as expected (e.g., at 100%), re-enable Dynamic Lighting and start experimenting with its settings.
In the Dynamic Lighting section, thereās a link:

That link takes you to the FAQ on the forum, where youāll find helpful graphs and more details. Be sure to expand the relevant section to see everything, as shown in the example below.
Hope this helps!
If youāre still having trouble, feel free to share the YAML settings of the automation youāre working onā¦ Iāll be happy to take a look and help you troubleshoot it further.

The blueprint has nothing to do withā¦ and should not affectā¦ your Energy Dashboard. My own Energy Dashboard is working perfectly.
This blueprint simply turns lights, switches, scenes, or scripts ON and OFF based on your settingsā¦ itās just an automation (a blueprint), nothing more.

Hi Blacky,
the night lights working so far. And it wasnāt night, the automation was turned off.
As for the scene to turn off the lights, you can see, that the lamp is turned off in the scene.
with the lights cranked to 100% and a bright image from my monitor, I usually have 520 to 550 lux. I have learned that you should have at least 500 lux in your working space, when working with a computer. So thats why I have this range minimum 500 to 600 lux.
Thats correct and the way I want it. I donāt need the lights being on, when I am not working on the computer.
That is also correct. I want the lights to stay off or turn off if the computer is also off.
But right now I started my gaming PC. And both automations for working and gaming lights started, with the working lights being the one handeling the lights.
I checked if my binary sensor for working was activeted but it says it was active last time two days ago:
But the automation started:
The binary sensor for gaming was active:
Or right know. I restartet my gaming PC. In HA I can see, that the automation was triggered:
But the light did not turn on. So I checked the script to start the colorloop. It was not activeted with the automation:
If I activate the script manually, the light turn on and goes into colorloop.
So maybe something isnāt right with the toggle helper?
I lokked at the code, and see, that there is a āend_sceneā which I canāt even remember to put into the automation. I can also not find it anywhere in the automation in GUI style. But the end_scene I actually put in through the GUI is not mentioned in the code.
alias: Gaming Licht PC
description: ""
use_blueprint:
path: Blackshome/sensor-light.yaml
input:
motion_trigger:
- binary_sensor.gaming_pc_an
light_switch:
entity_id: script.colorloop_hue_arbeitsplatz
boolean_scenes_scripts: input_boolean.hue_starten
end_scenes:
- scene.wohnzimmer_start
time_delay: 3
I have tried putting in another scene, saving it, put back my actual wanted scene, saving it, but the code did not change. This is in both automations. I know, I started with that scene in āArbeitslichtā, but I switched to the other scene, as I got a knew lamp and found it more convinient to just delete the old scene, create a new one, and put it into the automations.
Can I just erase the line and then put back my end_scene?
I have gone through DL and I have found some bugs with the DL state control, Setting 0% and DL Toggle Helper. I have spent about 8 hours on it so far and I am just cleaning it all up for a new release.
Once it is release try it out and see if I have fixed it.
Blacky
Thanks!
After several rounds of testing I found the issue. I was able to get several other lights to work properly but not my living room lights. Then the light dawned over marble head here. Some time back I tested an adaptive lighting integration and those lights were being controlled by it.
The adaptive lighting integration works well by itself. And your Blueprint works well on its own. But even with the Dynamic lighting disabled in the Blueprint when the integration and blueprint are both attempting to control the same light they donāt play nice together.
I do want to see if I can get them to play nice together. Even with the motion control I will be using manual switches about 20% of the time and I like the affect that the other adaptive lighting integration provides in that instance.
Again, Thanks!

Nice one glad you found the problem. If you going to use Dynamic Lighting I am releasing an update soon that fixes a few bugs in it. Make sure you keep an eye out for it so you can update it.

I have a similar problem, although I donāt use code red. This was my favorite automation before I had to bare metal my system with corrupted backups. Now I canāt seem to make it work. I know my FP2 presence sensor is working, I wrote a basic automation to test it. Iāve tried with a group for all the zones on the FP2, same result. Iām not fully sure how to check the variables you mentioned.

Looks like you using devices in Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts. You must use entities. Click here to the FAQ
If your using entities please provide 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.

Indeed I was, there and in night lights. I wonāt be able to test it until night time, but thank you!
@Blacky Dornauer I will test it 
Regarding my other question with the āend_sceneā: Can I just delete the line, and how much do I need to delete?
Your lighting experience, your way ā take control and customize it to perfection!

Would it be possible to consider an option to mask this? I donāt need to see that in the HA logs.
Hi there
Been using this blueprint for a while but now Ring complains about it:
I filtered the entities for events and Ring now uses
Name Entity ID [....]
Front Door Ding event.front_door_ding
Front Door Motion event.front_door_motion
Is it possible to update the blueprint so the Ring events can also be selected instead of sensor_binary?
Really loving the possibilities of this Blueprint!
Iām having a problem with adding the Bypass Switches. I want to use the RODRET switches from IKEA, but I donāt really understand how I can use them as an entity. Iāve tried creating a helper as an input_boolean with automations, or with the Binary Sensor Template, but none of them seem to workā¦ Could you help me?
Understood. One follow-up question. When controlling multiple lights, if one of the lights is unavailable (unplugged, no wifi, etc) the automation fails to turn any of the other lights on.
Is there a way to have it ignore any lights that are non-responsive and continue controlling the remaining lights?
The trigger must have both ON and OFF states. If youāre using an event (such as motion from a Ring doorbell), consider creating a template binary sensor.
Blacky
Welcome to the community.
I donāt use them. You first need to see the state they provide. You can see this in developer tools > states tab > then find your RODRET switch. When you press it see what state they provide and from there you and decide what is the best way to handel them.
