๐Ÿ”† Smart Light - Entity - Sun Elevation - Ambient & Time Triggers

Thanks for the quick reply. I am fairly certain that this sensor gives the lux:

And tried the dynamic_lighting_min_brightness: 2 anywhere from 0% to 10% without any changes. The only time I get this automation to trigger now, is by restarting HA, then it triggers on the boolean I guess. Well, wellโ€ฆ guess I have to sit in the dark (pun intended) a little while longer :smiley:

@vegard

Can you try this. Disable dynamic lighting and in light control enable Use Brightness and set the brightness to 50%. What I am trying is to see if the boolean will turn the light ON at 50% without dynamic lighting and your LUX sensor. Below is your YAML with the adjustments.

Blacky :smiley:

I can confirm that this worked. Toggled the boolean and the lights turned on to 50%.
What does this say you think?

Okay that is good. It tells me that your boolean, lights and brightness works.

I have added the sun elevation as your LUX sensor. Hope you have this entity in HA if not can you use a temperature sensor rather than the lux sensor. Just copy the entity ID of your temp sensor and paste it in the Dynamic Lighting - Ambient Light Sensor.

I also removed your helper and I am trying to testing your LUX sensor.

EDIT: I updated your YAML again and change the min brightness to 20% for now just to make sure the light will come on.

Sorry for the late reply to this. I created a sensor for the elevation, and this seems to work now with dynamic set to option 8 :slight_smile:

@vegard

All goodโ€ฆ glad you got it working. If you need mare help just let us know.
