Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. Doing this worked wonders and your blueprint is functioning flawlessly!

Hey there,
I’m fairly new to HA so apologies if I’m missing something obvious. I’m still getting my head around all the logic!
Thank you for all your work on this - it’s great!
I have ‘Sensor Light’ set up and working well. It uses my Hue Motion Sensor, and the Dynamic Lighting Settings to turn my lights on at the brightness and colour temperature appropriate for the time of day, they then switch off again after 7 minutes.
What I really want to happen, between say 9pm and Midnight, is for the lights to not switch off after the 7 minute timer. I want them to persist, only switching off if done manually or when the time hits midnight.
Is that possible?
Thanks!

That looks better.

Just a few things to clean up.

  1. In Lights remove the 2 helpers from Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper & Scenes - Scripts To Turn OFF.
  2. In Night Light Control disable (untick) Yes - Manage OFF script when crossing over as your not using scripts now.

Welcome to the community.

I have a question.

From 9pm to midnight would you like the light to turn ON regardless if the motion sensor was triggered and during this time do you need Dynamic lighting? If you would like them to turn ON and you don’t need DL then use night lights using the time condition and set up glow lights. Glow lights will turn ON you lights and in Night Light Control make sure you select If lights are ON, adjust the lights when crossing over.

If that is not the case then let us know more detail. Maybe also provide the settings of your automation as well. 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.

Hi Blacky,

Thanks for your help in configuration last week. I now have the whole house set up so that it uses a combination of presence sensors, light sensors, and physical switches. You don’t need to touch any switches. You walk around the house and the lighting just follows you. However, if you press any of the switches, which are where the old physical switches used to be, it just acts like it used to. You turn a switch on, light comes on, turn it off, the light goes off, and it stays like that until you leave the room.

There is one thing I would like to control and I haven’t managed to figure out how. I would like one set of lights to come on according to the presence and ambient lighting - and it does that - but I would like to control the brightness of the light to be one of two values depending on whether the television is switched on. I have an input boolean, a toggle, which says the TV is on. Is there anything I can configure in my blueprint usage that can use that to allow me to select one of two brightness levels? Or should I use two different automations based on the blueprint, only one of which is enabled? Or should I use YAML instead of the blueprint UI and put a brightness value in a template?

Thanks, Brian
