Dear community:
New to HA and hope somebody can help me with my automation to simulate a sunset effect of my lights in bedroom. I have the Hue Colour Ambient lights which support colour transition, so what I’d like to achieve is:
- When sunset starts, set start HSB values (cool temp)
- Set end HSB values (warm temp) and turn off light
(1) is straight forward, but I’m struggling with (2). So obviously light.turn_off doesn’t support HSB, so I tried light.turn_on with HSB (B=0), this sort of works for brightness, but colour transition doesn’t work, so the light stays at cool temp and gradually turn off.
The workaround I found is to first transition to HSB (B=1), then turn_off, but it’s quite messy as I need to wait for transition period to turn off the light, and it creates other issues for my supposed to be generic automation.
Does HA have a nicer way to address this? Thank you all!
