To create what your after it is best to use the
Sensor Light blueprint. I think this is what your after.
- Turn on when LUX below threshold
- Turn
offwhen LUX above threshold - Do not run this automation between 10pm and 6AM.
Download the sensor light blueprint. Then create a time of day sensor helper or a schedule helper. Time of day sensor helper is one time and easy and Schedule helper gives you more flexibility for each day and is also easy but it all depends on what you after.
- Go to Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers.
- Click β+ Create Helperβ and choose the helper you would like to use being
time of day sensorhelper or aschedulehelper. - Then the time you would select is from 6am to 10pm. The helper will be ON at these times and OFF between 10pm to 6am.
- Use this helper in the sensor light blueprint (not this one) as the trigger.
- Set up your ambient thresholds.
That is it, your done.
