For Morning Wake-up lights I very much recommend also using the Workday integration/helper. Who wants to be woken up on a Bank Holiday or a Weekend ? Certainly not me π
-
I'm so happy that company that made Sun also made it as an integration into homeassisatant, that's a dedication for the product and the community π€©π€©

Great video as always! The "Trigger ID" tip is powerful and overlooked indeed. I didnt know about it and managed to declutter many automations by clubbing them together into a single one. Much cleaner now! Cheers!
-
Mate, every one of these tips is just what I needed, going to take my lighting to the next level - Thanks!!
-
oh man! that is so nice to combine the presence triggered lights on and off in a single automation! i've been creating a single automation for each scenario. so much clutter!! i will start tidying up with these technique.
-
As someone who just dove it and tried figuring things out, I appreciate you showing the basics such as "Triggered by" and "Choose". Also, the Lights On service was something I was not familiar with and it's so much easier! Thanks!
-
Thank you for this. I had issues with setting up my motion sensor and this helped so much. Never thought to use trigger function.
-
Thanks. I have a total of 4 of your EP1 devices. I have one fully deployed, another in in staging mode. I should have the last 2 deployed by the end of the next month. Really liking them.
-
another great video, only downside is needing so time to rewrite a heap of my lighting automations that "worked" but ive never been completely happy with. keep up the good work. thanks for taking the time to help those of us who need that little push to make it all work smarter
-
One of my favourite light automations uses all motion sensors together. We have a template sensor to count the number of areas with motion on (count = 1 per room). If you enter a room and the light goes on, it starts a helper/timer for nn minutes. If you stay in the room (motionless) then when the timer expires it checks to see if the area counter >0 If not you must still be in the room, so restart the timer for 30s and keep looping until the area count >0 (you leave the room)
-
Thanks for the Adaptive Lighting component tip. It's really useful!
-
Thanks for bringing ideas ro be tested on this weekend!π
-
Great video - easy to follow along - have setup my Alarmo security with zone control now - Cheers
-
Great breakdown on how to create these automations. Thank you!
-
I've seen a lot of your videos. Thanks for the passionate and extremely helpful guides!
-
Brilliant video! Didnβt know about the adaptive lighting add on.
-
I didn't know about the adaptive lighting. Definitely going to give it a try! Thanks for the tip! I have an automation that turns on the light on a door-sensor trigger. That's even faster than a motion sensor!
-
Showing how to set up automations actually makes me want to get a HA unlike other videos β€
-
Awesome!! Especially the adaptive lighting!! π‘π Iβve been thinking about how to do this - and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! ππ»ππ»ππ»

Thank you so much for this! I am new to Home Assistant and I was lost with so many options this was really helpful.
