Multiple schedules for same light

[thrash99er (Morgan)]

I was trying to set up multiple schedules for turning on or off a light and I cant seem to do it with how adding the same light twice to my Lights and Switches. Wasn’t this possible before the dashboard with lights and switches?

Can I just install my own version of a smart app to handle this?? Or what?

[OBSOLETE] Lighting Director

UPDATE: Version 1.2 released! Hey guys and gals!! I have made some huge improvements to the “Light Follows Me App”. Basically I have created one app that can house 4 “scenes”. This is really cool because I hate having so many apps that I can’t find the one I want so this takes all of my lighting rules and moves it into one app. Each scene is independent of each other and can be triggered my motion. Each scene can be restriceted to run only when a certain lux value is below a customizable level. Then you can have that trigger turn on lights and even dim them to a certain level if you want. After motion stops you can choose to turn the scene off as well. See the code below

Enjoy

You can do it through the official mobile app with Hello Home Actions. I have the front entry light in many different HHAs.

Have I set up something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Fyi for All. Fix is incoming for this.

Short term solution is add a really high lux value like 20000 to your “scene”
