I think Iâm on the wrong track.
I have it in the sensor light automation, but in the Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan automation there is no possibility to use an Ambient Options. sry for my question again.
Have a look at my set up. It uses ambient and it is what you are trying to do. It goes through both automation settings. Click Here

New Feature
- Scripts - You can now use scripts in âLights - Switches - Scenes - Scriptsâ and âNight Lightsâ. When you use a script to turn ON your lights you will need to add a scene with everything OFF and input it into âScenes - Scripts To Turn OFFâ. Like scenes, when using scripts it is recommended to input just one entity into âLights - Switches - Scenes - Scriptsâ or âNight Lightsâ where scripts are the only input. Why? When using scenes an / or scripts the automation has no idea if any of the lights / switches are ON or OFF. For the automation to function correctly, adding just one entity in allows the automation to see what is going on.

that will definitely work. Thanks for the suggestion. Means managing 2 automations but I understand you cannot change your blueprint for each and every new usecase/suggestion
Cheers!
edit:
ohh I send you a small donation because I truly appreciate the quick help and support!
this would be a good feature for me to expand the time if someone turns on the light manualy.
if someone pushes the light switch, i programmed to turn the light 100% and enable bypass.
i have another automatisation for every room to turn the bypass off after 10 minutes without motion.
this feature implemented could save me about 10 automatisations. (its like a nomotion time expander)
Iâm loving the versatility of this blueprint! Iâm using it to control the lighting in my reptile room, with a motion sensor. However, I want the lights to COME ON during the day, based on sun elevation, to provide a more natural seasonal cycle. As near as I can tell, this will only turn the lights on when the sun is moving high â low. Is there a way to invert the sun logic?
New to HA, currently migrating from Hubitat and this is the first Blueprint I tried and loving it!
I have one longshot request though as I know this will only be helpful to a minority:
I have a long hallway with Zigbee bulbs. Ideally Iâd like to have each bulb light up in succession in one direction with a set delay between each bulb when motion is triggered on one end of the hallway and in the other direction when motion is triggered on the other end of the hallway.
I could write a custom automation for that but then Iâd lose all of the great features this blueprint offers. Is that something that is possible (probably yes) or desirable (probably no)??
Thanks for your suggestion I will put it on the list.

Use normal lights for your day time then use night lights for your night time and use sun as the condition. If you donât want any lights at night then donât add any. This will allow light for the day time.

Guess Iâm off to figure out how to script then!
Hi, I love this Blueprint but Iâm serching a solution for this simple case:
I want that automation donât start if I turn on the light manually until I turn off the light manually. So, I want that automation dont turn off the light if I have turn it on manually even someone trigger the move sensor.
Who can help me?
Thanks!
Welcome to the community
You will have to use the by-pass option â1 turn ONâ. You canât use the light switch that is connected to the light. It has to be an independent switch.

Hi Blacky,
thanks for response. Iâve seen that option but I hope to find a simplest solution to control the light from the same light entity, like a âgeneric conditionâ in Blueprint where I can put for example "light.XXXX is âOffâ
Currently there is not an option like this.
Hey @Blacky Is there a way to expose the countdown timers for each of the automation so that they could be displayed on a dashboard?
I have a dash that shows all the areas in the house with motion detected. I would like to add the automation timers to this dash to show a countdown of when the lights will turn off when no motion is detected.
I have the Philips Hue GU10 LED Spots White Ambiance. Their color temperature is measured in mireds and not Kelvin. Trying to use a low Kelvin value (for warm light) always results in a very cold light temperature.
Any ideas if either automatic unit conversion could be added OR if it would be possible to choose the unit?
When I use the âDeveloper Toolsâ from HA and use the âlights.onâ Service, I can choose between Kelving and mireds:
The blueprint uses just a ânumberâ slider maybe it helps to use the official color selector?
Update:
I replaced
light_colour_temperature:
(...)
selector:
number:
min: 2000
max: 8000
mode: slider
step: 100
unit_of_measurement: 'kelvin'
with
light_colour_temperature:
(...)
selector:
color_temp:
unit: kelvin
min: 2000.0
max: 8000.0
and it seems to work now (maybe because itâs internally converted then).
Btw they also changed something recently: Add Option For Kelvin Unit To Color Temperature Selector by schelv ¡ Pull Request #18627 ¡ home-assistant/frontend ¡ GitHub
Thank you so much for building this! Iâm wondering if you could easily add a cool-down delay of a couple seconds either baked in or as a toggle? If using binary-sensor.cam-motion sensors as triggers, unfortunately with many cameras, the act of turning the light off retriggers the detection.
