The blueprint should survive a restart. I test it again when everyone is sleeping. If you can provide me you YAML of your settings so I can test your exact set up that would be great.

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 “</>” and paste code in there.

If you are referring to Dynamic Lighting - Max Lux Value or any other input you just simply type the value in and click save.

PS: Having 3 motion sensors could be wise to group them.

When binary_sensor.con_badtuer_inverted is turned ON, the blueprint will stop running.

The only action it may still perform is the Restore Dim Before OFF option, but only if the light is currently ON. Since you are not using this option, it will have no effect.

• If the light is OFF, it will remain OFF.
• If the light is ON, it will remain ON.

While the bypass is ON, the blueprint is effectively disabled. The only functionality that would continue to work is other bypass options, but since you are not using any, nothing else will run.

When HA restarts it will trigger the automation. It then will look at the site conditions. If the trigger is ON (door open) it will turn the light ON.

It will also do other things depending on what the site conditions are at the time of restart.

@maisun

The automation is triggered at end time to turn off lights, not sure it’s the expected behaviour? My understanding is that end time is only for enable/disable the automation and it shouldn’t turn on/off lights.

Close, the time condition is to only allow the automation to run at this time. If the lights are ON then it will turn them OFF because we are saying to only allow the lights to be ON between these times.

@maisun

Edit: also noticed when “Dim Before OFF” is enabled, when automation triggers to turn on the lights, it turn on the lights with brightness 100%. This raises issue for adaptive lighting which I have configured to ignore turn_on command with brightness info. I have double checked “Use Brightness” under light control is disabled.

What DL option are you using?

@cravevox

Thanks for the feedback, I like these ones

Your welcome, glad you like it.

@Renekcl

What is the goal?

Turn a light ON when your finger print sensor fires an event? Then what will turn it OFF… will it be a delay say for 5 min and then turn OFF?

Not colour only colour temp in kelvin. This is done in dynamic lighting option.

I think you should make it work with a lux sensor that’s in the room you want to control with the automation.

You can use a LUX sensor that is in the room and the blueprint has options for this.

@Nickduino

So, in essence, turn the lights on when illuminance is below 80 lx and turn them off when they’re above 180.

Yes you can do this

• NO - My Ambient Light Sensor is not affected by the Lights
• Ambient Light - Low Lux Value = 80
• Ambient Light - High Lux Value = 180

and you have 2 time delays for your low and high to slow down the lights if they turn ON / OFF to quickly. Example if it goes above 180 for 30 seconds and then drops below 180, if you set a Ambient Light - High Lux Time Delay to 1 min then the light will stay ON but if it goes above 180 for over 1 min then the light will go OFF.

Yes I can add this. I put it on the list to do.

@wrobelda

You need to use a diffrent blueprint. Have a look at this one Manual light control with auto OFF. You also have options so once you turn it ON manually the motion sensor can keep it ON. You also have a grace option that is handy.

@strumf666

I have seen this before. You need to make sure you set the Shelly correctly (Device type) and wire them correctly. Have a look at this YouTube video at the 2:50 mark to 5:40 mark. This has helped another member in the past.

@dlarkinsPonderosa

I tested it here using a script to turn the light ON and a scene to turn the light OFF with a Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper. The helper turn ON when the automation is triggered and OFF when the light turn OFF.

If you like you could 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 “</>” and paste code in there.

Great. I think the cleanest would be to split it into two options.

• ‘Dynamic brightness’ option that could be controlled by lux/sun/time
• ‘Dynamic colour temp’ option that could be controlled by sun/time (or lux but I don’t really see how)

2 or 3 elements in each list instead of 13 (and over 13 if you add time controlled colour temperature), much more readable.

[al3x1337]

You’re right, I thought it wasn’t because of a poor design choice. When I put in a value of 9 or lower the text field would be underlined in red which I thought was an error because the number is out of the range. Turns out it was red for any number and saved without issues which I didn’t initially try.

@Nickduino

Yea but it has grown this way and it will break everyone’s blueprint.

[strumf666 (Peter Štampfel)]

Thanks for the suggestion. I wired and configured the rgbw2s more than 5 years ago and they were working as they should with shelly4hass integration. The problem started after migrating to official integration, but that isn’t the main reason for my request. I would like to have an option for “staggered effect” for my lights if it’s not too much work.

[Blacky]

@strumf666

An option for a staggered effect when they turn ON. What you could do is have a script that does this. Then use the script in the Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts.

Blacky

[strumf666 (Peter Štampfel)]

Not just turn on, but turn of and change brightness (I use dynamic lights). For turn on and off I know it can be done with scripts.

[Blacky]

@strumf666

Now it getting even more tricky. Stagger + DL + for turn ON and OFF. This is a lot of work. I add it to the suggestion list.
