Hey All, so I have everything set up and all other integrations work (mostly as intended). For whatever reason, no matter what I set the start value at on a few different brands of lights the lowest I can get one of them is 54% brightness. The light that I want to use starts at 100% no matter what.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing the high start value?
Soo. One a bit more complicated problem. I have this Automation and I transferred it to a Automation w/o all the blueprint stuff. Now the time stuff is working, like starting 10 Minutes before the alarm and also the pre and post sunrise effect action are getting fired. Now just the brightness is the problem. It starts at 1 brightness then nothing happens(Like not getting brighter) for ~8:45 minutes and then it turns off. Also the trace is not longer available after that. Not sure what’s really happening with that.

Hi there, hope there’s someone knowledgeable that can help me with this. I’m a day 1 newbie and although borderline illiterate with code, most of the time I can about figure out how to botch together what I need.
I can’t get the automation to activate. When checking the Trace Timeline I’m getting the following message. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Triggered by the time pattern at 28 December 2021, 18:45:00

This is the accompanying message from the error log:

Thanks in advance guys!
I have the same issue. Is there any solution for it?
Looks like automations created with this blueprint are throwing some errors:
2021-12-29 15:40:00 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template warning: 'as_timestamp' got invalid input 'unavailable' when rendering template '{{0 < as_timestamp(states(sensor) if sensor != 'none' else states('sensor.date') ~ ' ' ~ manual_time) - as_timestamp(states('sensor.date_time_iso')) <= float(seconds) and states(check_entity) in ['unknown', 'on', 'home']}}' but no default was specified. Currently 'as_timestamp' will return 'None', however this template will fail to render in Home Assistant core 2022.1
You can try to change all “none”'s in the template to “None”. That’s work for me, but after this change I get the same error as @vitek and @vajdum
Edit: At first use of this blueprint I get this TypeError, but after playing around and type again “none” everything works fine. Maybe you have to type it in, even when the fild contains “none” already?!
The Error “Stopped because only a single execution is allowed at …” seems to be okay, you have to look at the first trace were the automation is “still running” (HA prevent to restart a new run in single-mode, see Automation Modes).
New to HA and wanted to say thanks for this blueprint, it provided a great base for the functionality I wanted.
I’ve added support to add a speaker that slowly increases the volume in combination with the light. This is tested with a Sonos speaker (IKEA Symfonisk). I’m using IKEA Trådfri bulbs so I also had to do some minor changes to how brightness is set. I’ve also added the possibility to lock the color temperature to the set value (incase you want to only increase brightness) and fixed some minor issues with the timestamps.
The issue with the timestamps came from that sensor.time_date_time_iso doesn’t include the timezone information while now() does. So when converted to timestamps, they give different times.
{{states('sensor.date_time_iso')}} = 2022-01-08T20:05:00
{{now()}} = 2022-01-08 20:05:00.004820+01:00
When converted, these should give the same time but
{{as_timestamp(states('sensor.date_time_iso'))}} = 1641672300.0
{{as_timestamp(now())}} = 1641668700.004835
This problem also applies when setting the time manually as
states(''sensor.date'') ~ '' '' ~ manual_time)
also lacks information about the timezone.
Below is my full code with the added functionality and fixes incase it’s useful for someone.
EDIT: I fell victim for the “never post anything until fully tested”. Fixed the code below.

Same error for me. The automation doesn’t work 
In case it helps anyone else, I hacked (it’s gross) my version of this blueprint to accomodate what I assume are issues related to this breaking change as mentioned in the release notes of 2021.12: Add datetime object as valid StateType by frenck · Pull Request #52671 · home-assistant/core · GitHub
I deleted the timestamp device class from my sensor, so now it just reads:
sensors:
- platform: template
alarm_time_with_date:
friendly_name: "Alarm Time with Date"
value_template: "{{states('sensor.date')~' '~states('input_datetime.alarm')}}"
I then modified my local version of /config/blueprints/automation/Sbyx/wake-up-light-alarm-with-sunrise-effect.yaml and changed line 21 to just specify the domain as a sensor instead of device_class as timestamp. I will probably pay for these sins later.
timestamp_sensor:
name: Alarm timestamp sensor
description: 'Sensor with timestamp of next alarm with device_class: timestamp
(set to ''none'' for manual alarm time)'
default: none
selector:
entity:
domain: sensor
This allowed me to then select my sensor.alarm_time_with_date as my alarm timestamp sensor. It seems to be working based on one test, but I’ll go to bed now and see how it goes in a few hours. 
this worked for me as well!
However, is this breaking change not addressed in the updated version by @sbyx from nov '21?
hey,
I love this blueprint and it’s really awesome,
but I do want to ask a small question…
regarding for creating a timestamp and using it, i"m a bit of a noob, so i apologize in advance
i scanned the thread and found 2 mentions for how to create a time stamp, i used that, and i can see in the blueprint the newly created time stamp,
but what I fail to do, is to assign a time for that sensor… i searched google for examples, but I did not understand those examples that i found…
help would be appreciated
Hi there,
First I would like to thank you for your contribution. It’s a really nice blueprint you made.
But I just created an automation from your blueprint and encountered an error. Let me give you some details:
Stopped because an error was encountered at 30 January 2022, 09:04:00 (runtime: 0.01 seconds) In 'template' condition: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'NoneType' and 'NoneType'Hope this helps you troubleshoot the problem.
Cheers,
Amer
Hi, nice blueprint.
Small suggestion:
replace states(''sensor.date'') with now().date() and as_timestamp(states(''sensor.date_time_iso'')) with as_timestamp(now()).
Then it is no longer required to use the time_date integration for the sensors, which makes it easier to integrate this blueprint.
Hi @TheFes, have you implemented your suggestion? I tried it, but it breaks the automation completely for me. I’m super confused, since I’ve double-checked that now().date gives the same value as states(''sensor.date''), and as_timestamp(now()) is very close to as_timestamp(states(''sensor.date_time_iso'')).
Both replacements result in errors. If I replace only as_timestamp(states(''sensor.date_time_iso'')), I get the following error:
sunrise test: Error executing script. Error for wait_template at pos 2: In 'template' condition: AttributeError: 'datetime.datetime' object has no attribute 'lower'
If I replace states(''sensor.date'') or both, I get:
sunrise test: Error executing script. Error for wait_template at pos 2: In 'template' condition: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'NoneType' and 'float'
I wonder if something needs to be typecasted to a different form. Any ideas?
Sorry, no, not properly.
I guess I better not posted it, as I don’t use this myself, I just stumbled upon it.
Might be better to leave it as it is.
Is there a way that I can debug each step of the blueprint? The best way where a file for each day which can be checked with diff.
I use these from Monday to Thursday to wake me up and I works fine, except on Tuesday.I use only one setting with the template with 1- 4 isoweekday. Why the behavior on Tuesday is different is not understandable for me, so I would look to catch this.
I have the same issue as aaljovic with
How do we fix this???
In ‘template’ condition: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: ‘NoneType’ and 'NoneType
Same here!
Let’s try to find a common point in setups with and without the issue.
version: core-2022.2.2
installation_type: Home Assistant Container
dev: false
hassio: false
docker: true
user: root
virtualenv: false
python_version: 3.9.7
os_name: Linux
os_version: 5.4.0-1047-raspi
arch: aarch64
timezone: Europe/Lisbon
Same here, also got this error message:
In ‘template’ condition: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: ‘float’ and ‘NoneType’
Then I figured out just RTFM !!! This fixed the error’s. Will test the automation now.
Cheers, Daniel
