🔆 Smart Light - Entity - Sun Elevation - Ambient & Time Triggers

Sorry for my late reply - have been traveling. Understood, thanks so much! It indeed slowly recovers from the night light to get to the full light again with the step values. :+1: I ‘misuse’ the night light mode to dim the lights when my TV is on so it’s great when it fast transitions from dynamic lighting to night light as it does now. Is there also a possibility to bypass the step value when it goes from night light back to dynamic lighting? Thanks!

I have this working great in a hallway using a presence sensor to trigger the lights. I have dynamic lighting based on sun elevation to set the appropriate brightness.

However, is it possible to have an AND clause in the trigger, such that if the illuminance sensor has a lux above a threshold it would not trigger (or trigger presence triggered and lux below threshold).?

It doesn’t and I guess the work around would be to use dynamic lighting?

Thanks for letting us know, your kind words and for you support :heart:

Glad it hear it working and saved you some time.

@TheAutomator

You can increase the step value to a higher value like 50% or even 100% then in Light Control increase your transition time so it smooths out the light for you.

Hope this helps

If you are using a presence sensor to trigger the automation you better off using my :bulb: Sensor Light blueprint. In this blueprint you will then have the ability to use a LUX sensor so if the light levels are below your setting the automation will run.

This is how I do this and is what you are after.

Hello @Blacky - very smart things you do!
Please do you have a clue how to use this blueprint to turn light xx minutes before sunset and let them ON for XX minutes (after OFF) and again ON XX minutes before sunrise? Thank you.
