That is correct. But the bypass is not enabled when this happens. I use the bypass to disable motion, but the issues I am seeing is when bypass is off and two automations overlap on the same sensor, right around the same time.
It’s definitely not working. I’ve set up a second automation based on this blueprint,and it still fails to bypass when Night Lights is either on, or transitioned to Night Lights (from Day Lights). Weird.
I am not sure how your workday sensor works but you could use the bypass. The thing I am confused with is;
Is this turned ON and OFF during the week at certain times (as a trigger) and then on the weekend you want different times? If so look at schedule helper. You can set different times every day.
If it is set to only run on the weekends and it is Monday and you turn ON the bypass the automation will run and preform the bypass action. The bypass will bypass everything.
I been asked this before so I will put it on a list of suggestions. You could use the Transition - OFF and it will slowly dim until it goes OFF. So you could type in 90 seconds into the Transition - OFF and see if that works for you.
Not sure I understand the logic for Night Lights and Night Glow. I have all the normal stuff working great. I use the time for Night Lights and Night Glow triggers. When its past the time and no motion the Night Glow does activate and turn off for that matter. It’s when motion is found at night that is the issue. My Night Glow is for the under cabinet lights. My Night lights are for the under cabinet and island pendants. When it sees motion the island pendants do come on but never go off. The under cabinet nights brighten to 30% like I had in the Night Light section and then dim to 10% after im gone. I just for the life of me can’t figure out why the Island Pendants won’t go off.
edit: I think I see my problem. I had thought night lights were the same as the main triggers. As what I was looking to do was turn on the main lights from say 8am to 11pm if motion was found. Then from 11pm to 8am turn on the island lights and under cabinet lights if motion was found. Maybe this blueprint isnt ready for that kind of logic though?
I’m just looking for a way to add a duration to the binary trigger.
Example, I have a set of ambient lights in the room but I don’t want it to turn on right away when presence is detected in the room (when somebody just walks by). I want to be able for it to turn on only after presence is detected for 5 minutes.
Is this currently doable?
edit: I just had to edit the Blueprint and add that function to the trigger sections.
Hi, i want to make a transition of 10 minutes in the morning.
Example: the trigger is a scheduler at 06:50 AM and i want a transition of the brightness from 0 to 100%
So the brightness will be to 0% at 06:50 AM and 100% at 07:00 AM
It is possible with this blueprint ?
Thank you
I have a time trigger, but it’s for the working days, i want to make this in 2 different time settings. night and day time difference workdays and weekend. I dont want to have my light 60% brightness at 6 am on saturday
My light is usally always at 50. How do i set it up if i want to raise light up to 100 when motion is active?
I want my light to go back to 50 again when i leave/when motion not active?
Hi Blacky! Thank you again for an amazing blueprint!
I’m finally getting around to implementing your blueprint with my RGB dimmable lights. You walked me through it a while ago but my objectives are:
Motion from my motion group will turn the lights on to 100% to a specific color preset and then turn them off a few seconds after motion stops. This will happen any time day or night except for:
During the time period of sunset until 10pm I want the same thing to happen but after motion stops the lights will go to 1% at a different color temperature.
The idea is that any time day or night that we walk into the kitchen the lights will turn on 100% and then off after we leave the kitchen, but from sunset til 10pm they will go to 1% dim to provide ambient light in the room.
Overall, it seems to be working in general, but it also seems like during certain times of the morning and/or early afternoon it does not. I am checking the motion group when the blueprint is not working and the group state is ON, and the blueprint runs, but the lights aren’t turning on. Your blueprint is so insanely complex and sophisticated but it’s also easy to miss a setting. I know that has to be the case here. I’ve been checking and re-checking the settings and trying random things, but nothing seems to solve my issue. Could you take a look at this yaml and tell me if you see something obvious? Thank you in advance!
Depends on your lights. Some lights will do it, some won’t. Try using the Transition - ON and type in 600 seconds. If it works then great but if not then you may need to create a script. Then have your script step the lights up to 100% over 10 min. You then use the script in the blueprint and make sure you add a toggle helper in Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper and a scene or script to turn them OFF in Scenes - Scripts To Turn OFF.
If this is 24/7 then you would just a scene to Scenes - Scripts To Turn OFF and set it to 50%.
If not 24/7 then you would use night lights and night glow.
or if is is different again you could use my Smart Light blueprint and use your motion sensor in night light condition with a trigger to turn your lights on at 50%. Then when they are on at 50% when motion is detected set your night lights to 100% and use the If lights are ON, adjust the lights when crossing over with Use cross over time delay from night lights to normal lights in night light control.
With what you have asked I have no idea what you trying to do so I given you some options that are general.
Thanks for your description and YAML of your automation stetting, it helps me understand what your trying to do. You are so close. Try selecting If lights are ON, adjust the lights when crossing over Even though it is the same light / brightness / RGB it will force it over to nightlights trace.
If that does not work, I have also thought of one more thing and that is to use dynamic lighting with time option 11.
You could also use a time of day sensor helper for this so dynamic lighting only works between 6:50am to 7:00am then use Dynamic Lighting - State Control Activation State and add your helper into Dynamic Lighting - State Control Entity.
