Iāve got the Tradfri Lights from ikea, you can change those values while the light is off with them.
Iāve tried most Blueprints from here which can trigger on Motion and also have a Lux Sensor setting, non of them work with motion detection anymore since the latest 2023 HA Update. So iām looking for blueprints which just changes the Brightness, Color/Temp Settings metioned above without affecting the on or off state of my lights. Iāve just bound the motion triggers to the lights now so they get turned on and off without HA automations.
If you set the brightness percentages at maximum and minimum ambient light to the same setting, then only color or temperature should be affected.
Maybe that helps.
I can really see no use case to change the brightness, color or temperature when the light is off.
Thanks for the blueprint
Would be great to be able to use sunset/sunrise with offset instead of lux sensor.
Do you think that this could be incorporated at some point?
Thanks
The max brightness value is set at 1000 lux becuase I figured there would be no need to go any higher. (I donāt think youād need any light turned on if the ambient light value is already at 1000 lux)
Is there a specific use case youāre looking at?
This is amazing! Iām impressed with how natural this feels, I have not paid any attention to light levels for a long time
But, I have a question. I have spots where the brightness is oversized so that I normally only use around 40% of the maximum brightness. However, when I have to do some work or cleaning, I would like to increase the intensity, but then smart lux overrides.
What is the best way to be able to override smart lux for a short time?
Think something like āif light intensity has been changed manually, set smart lux to pause for 30 minutes for the zone in questionā
Thank you!
Not particularly, I was just asking. I found the āBrightness when ambient light value over max settingā and iām using this over 1000 lux.
There are conditions that can be set.
I actually have a similar situation, where it dims my lights dynamically in the stairwell, but when weāre cleaning there youād want the lights to be set at 100%.
We simply have a boolean helper that we set and it prevents the blueprint from running.
I think that use case will be very limited, so Iām not modifying the blueprint for everyone.
However, should you feel the need to change it, you could just modify it yourself using the studio code server or a similar add-on.
If you change the max brightness value on line 166 that should allow you to set it to a higher value.
Donāt forget to refresh the automations afterwards: Developer Tools > YAML > YAML configuration reloading and click on āAutomationsā.
Your template works amazing for me as well. One thing, which I think might be missing is, that the automation is triggered automatically once movement is detected. Currently it does only seem to trigger the automation once the light detection sensor is changing, therefore I trigger the automation externally if movement is detected. How do you solve that?
Itās not missing, itās just not a feature of this blueprint. The goal here was to have dynamic light based on the light thatās available in the environment.
If you want to use other triggers, I would encourage you to look at my other blueprint: The Everything Light - Trigger a light any way and turn it on in any way
The dynamic lighting setting in that blueprint is based on the logic from this one, but it allows you to use any trigger, including a motion sensor.
This is such a great Blueprint, thank you very much!.
For one room, Iād like to use it ārevertedā I use an outside light sensor and when it gets darker (clouds, thunderstorm, etc.), Iād like to get the Lights brighter and vice versa.
I took a look at your code (I can not code by myself) and I think it is not possible to swap the values from max. and min. brightness (so max. brightness is set e.g. to 5% and min. brightness to 45%), because it will result in a negative result of your calculationā¦
Can you help me with my requirement?
Thanks for this blueprint.
I would like to include a feature, which adds a certain delay for the dimmer output.
For example: the light sensor (in my case direct sun light) is jumping because of fast moving clouds and the light output is correspondingly jumping. For such situations it would be great, if the dimmer output would only change in adjustable time intervalls with average values, f.e. the dimmer changes the light only after 60s with an value correspondig to the average light sensor value of the last 60s.
