Totally agree...
I'm new to Matter & Thread, have some Aqara door and window sensors that are Matter as well as some Nanoleaf Essential light bulbs and although they show up in the Google Home App and Script Editor they are often offline. Keep looking for an app or place to view my Matter network, like I can see my mesh network and see what devices are connected to what Mesh Unit (have 80'ish devices on my Wi-Fi & 92 devices showing in the Google Home App)
Trying to make automations to control the brightness of the lights and experimenting with different options as Nanoleaf App seems useless for these bulbs unless you want to use the app all the time (not multi user friendly when your wife isn't into it!)
This script doesn't change the brightness of the lights, even tossed in a delay - have a smart switch currently turning them on as it was there prior and I haven't swapped it out as I can't even tell Google to turn on the bulb if power is on currently.
metadata:
name: Stair light on adjust day brightness # Choose a short name that summarizes important starters and actions, like “Sunset lights”.
description: Stair light 90% during daytime # Write a detailed description that includes everything the automation does, like “At sunset, on weekdays, close blinds, turn on lights to 50%, and play the sunset playlist on certain speakers.”
automations:
# “starters” and “actions” are required; “conditions” are optional.
# Use Ctrl + Space to see autocomplete suggestions.
# ---- STARTERS ---- #
# Starters describe events that will start the automation.
# To add more than one starter, duplicate the "- type" section under "starters".
# If you add multiple starter events, any one of them happening will start the automation.
starters:
- type: device.state.OnOff
state: on
# [available operators: is, isNot]
is: true
device: Entry Stairs Light - Entry
# ---- CONDITIONS ---- #
# Conditions are optional. Delete this section if it’s empty.
# Conditions will prevent an automation from starting if the conditions aren’t met.
# See g.co/home/script-editor-docs for documentation about how to use logical operators like “and”, “or”, and “not”.
condition:
type: time.between
# Optional. Accepts either clock time (10:00:00 AM, with seconds optional, or in a 24 hour format), or 'sunrise' or 'sunset', with an optional offset ('sunrise+10m', for instance)
before: sunset # HH:MM (24 hours format). Adjust time as needed
# Optional. Accepts either clock time (10:00:00 AM, with seconds optional, or in a 24 hour format), or 'sunrise' or 'sunset', with an optional offset ('sunrise+10m', for instance)
after: sunrise
# Optional. Days of the week to apply condition on.
weekdays:
- MON
- TUE
- WED
- THU
- FRI
- SAT
- SUN
# ---- ACTIONS ---- #
# Actions will start when a starter event takes place and all conditions are met.
# Actions will start in the order they appear in the script and with any delay specified.
# To add more than one action, duplicate the "- type" section under "actions".
actions:
- type: device.command.BrightnessRelative # Adjust device relative brightness.
# [Available parameter options: brightnessRelativePercent, brightnessRelativeWeight]
brightnessRelativePercent: 90
devices: Stair Light - Stairway
- type: time.delay
# Adjust duration as needed. Supported units: sec, min, hour
for: 15sec
- type: device.command.BrightnessAbsolute # Adjust device absolute brightness.
brightness: 90
devices: Stair Light - Stairway
- type: device.command.BrightnessRelative # Adjust device relative brightness.
# [Available parameter options: brightnessRelativePercent, brightnessRelativeWeight]
brightnessRelativePercent: 90
devices: Stair Light - Stairway
If anyone sees an obvious fix for this let me know!
Thanks
