Morning @BrianSullivan can you post the example YAML code you got working. I'm trying to set my closet light bulb brightness and color based on time of day when the door is opened. I'm struggling a little with the best placement in the Google Script Editor to add the brightness and color. I'm hoping seeing what you got working will help me figure out my issue.
Here is my current working code:
Working Code as of 21 Oct 2023
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #
# Lines starting with “#” are comments and will be ignored by the automation.
# Indentation determines hierarchy within the script.
# Visit g.co/home/script-editor-docs for full documentation.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #
metadata:
name: MB Closet Light ON # Choose a short name that summarizes important starters and actions, like “Sunset lights”.
description: Turn MB Closet Light ON When Door Opens. Uses Aoetec door sensor to turn on Feit recessed lights.
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.OpenClose
state: openPercent
# [available operators: is, isNot, lessThan, lessThanOrEqualTo, greaterThan, greaterThanOrEqualTo]
is: 100
device: Master BR Closet Sensor - Master Bedroom
# ---- 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: 21:00 # 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: 07:00 # HH:MM (24 hours format). Adjust time as needed
# Optional. Days of the week to apply condition on.
# ---- 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.OnOff # Turn the device on.
devices: Master Bedroom Lights - Master Bedroom
on: true
- type: time.delay
for: 3min
# Set MB Closet Lights to 100 Percent Brightness
- type: device.command.BrightnessAbsolute # Adjust device absolute brightness.
brightness: 100
devices: Master Bedroom Lights - Master Bedroom
# Set MB Closet Lights Color to Bright White
- type: device.command.ColorAbsolute
color:
name: white
devices: Master Bedroom Lights - Master Bedroom
# Turns Group Master Bedroom Lights off after 3min
- type: device.command.OnOff # Turn the device off.
devices: Master Bedroom Lights - Master Bedroom
on: false
Example:
If closet door is opened from 7:00am to 9:00 pm Set Light color to white and 100 percent brightness.
If closet door is opened from 9:00pm to 7:00 am Set Light color to Red and 50 percent brightness. ( Cats light to open closet doors in the middle of the night and setting the light to red will hopefully prevent me from waking up. Also if I get up early and need something out of closet I can open door and not wake up my partner GF)
