Version: 1.4
The most common automation used to turn ON and OFF a light, switch, entity or a scene with a binary sensor, the sun’s elevation, an ambient light value or time when their value changes state or crosses over their set value.
The Automation Process:
- Turn ON a Light, Switch, Entity or a Scene with a binary sensor, the sun’s elevation, an ambient light value or time.
- Turn OFF a Light, Switch, Entity or a Scene with a binary sensor, the sun’s elevation, an ambient light value or time.
- You have the option to set weekdays. This is a global option for all trigger conditions.
