Hi, I would like to set a light, and all of its effects a static brightness based on the Sun, Sunset or Sunrise.
Is this possible in ESPhome config?
Thanks
Thanks Nick, could you advise the best way to integrate this for the Light.
I want to integrate it so that no matter what light effect is called, the brightness remains the same based on the sun condition.
Right now, when the effect is called, the brightness reverts back to its default.
Thanks
Could you please show your yaml.
Sure,

I am confused. The only code I see changing the effect is in on_disconnect. And I see nothing about sun.
I am trying like this.
light:
- platform: fastled_clockless
id: led
name: "LED"
pin: 23
chipset: WS2812
num_leds: 1
rgb_order: GRB
on_sunrise:
- then:
id: light_1
brightness: 100%
Came up with this, will test.
sun:
latitude:
longitude:
on_sunset:
- then:
- light.turn_on:
id: led
brightness: 20%
effect: none
on_sunrise:
- then:
- light.turn_on:
id: led
brightness: 100%
effect: none
The problem with this is it does not check to see what state the sun is in after booting,
If I reboot the unit, its full brightness until the next sun cycle.
Any ideas on this one?
What I am trying to achieve is, preventing the light going above 20% brightness when the sun is below horizon, and then allowing the light to go to 100% when the sun is above the horizon, not matter what. I dont want anything to be able to override this.
Appreciate any input, been struggling now for a while with this.
Right now, it appears that the light does change static brightness based on the sun condition, however when an effect is called, like Fast Pulse, it seems to overwrite the brightness and just defaults to 100%, this is fine if the sun is above horizon, but it does it when the sun is below horizon too.
also, any idea why the led doesnt turn on on boot?
on_boot:
priority: 800
then:
- if:
condition:
- sun.is_above_horizon:
then:
light.turn_on:
id: led
brightness: 100%
green: 100%
else:
- light.turn_on:
id: led
brightness: 20%
green: 100%
light:
- platform: fastled_clockless
id: "led"
name: "LED"
pin: 23
chipset: WS2812
num_leds: 1
rgb_order: GRB
priority: 800 is maybe a little early. Try later.
Thanks, I solved it with -1000
But, something weird is happening. I cannot get the color GREEN to show on boot.
It shows like a light blue?
on_boot:
priority: -1000
then:
- if:
condition:
- sun.is_above_horizon:
then:
light.turn_on:
id: led
brightness: 100%
green: 100%
else:
- light.turn_on:
id: led
brightness: 20%
green: 100%
Does green work otherwise ?
Yes, green seems to work when instructed from HA
Damn, I fixed this by adding
color_correct: [60%, 60%, 60%]
to the fastled_clockless integration.
now, all thats outstanding is the effects overriding the brightness,
Could you help me with this. In my effects I am not really specifying a brightness. Is there a way to specify a brightness based on the sun condition for the effects?
effects:
- pulse:
- pulse:
name: "Fast Pulse"
transition_length: 0.5s
update_interval: 0.5s
min_brightness: 0%
max_brightness: 100%
- pulse:
name: "Slow Pulse"
# transition_length: 1s # defaults to 1s
update_interval: 2s
Thanks
I think you need to use lambda effects
Thanks,
You mean actually write the Lamda code to check the state of the sun?
Yes, worth a try
