Window-Control Automation with color changing Light

1

Hi, I recently switched from Homebridge to Home Assistant and I am astonished by all the new features and possibilities! With Homebridge I organized all of my Automations with HomeKit itself, but it was limited a lot. Another Solution is to use Home+ App on iPhone to get full potential for automations.
Anyways I wanted HA for more flexibility.

Now I got struck with the following: I have an Ikea Trader Shortcut button integrated with deconz which I want to use as a window control button:

Press it once, if all windows are closed it will turn on a specific RGB light in green for 10 secs, if any window is open it will turn the light on in red for 10 sec. (+ Bonus: Send a Notification on iPhone).

I integrated all window sensors, but doesn’t get it to run either with the delay, nor the color switch.
For more convenience I changed the brightness to 90 and 10 percent:

        entity_id: light.fensterkontrollleuchte
        domain: light
        brightness_pct: 10

Any Idea how I can add the missing features?

Hey Fred, welcome to Home Assistant!

Device actions are limited. Use service actions instead:

action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    …

Thanks, that did the trick for me, I wasn’t aware that the Service Option can also trigger lights!

Here is the final Automation, maybe I will add a Door Sensor on my main door which will trigger the automation later instead of the shortcut button:
