Playing around with a simple automation that turns a porch light on and off based on my “home” or “away” status and sunset. Running into some problems:
-
There is no setting to leave it on more than 1 hour. What if I want it to stay on until sunrise? Or perhaps three hours and 32 minutes?
-
I also want to evaluate whether the light is already on, but if I try to set a condition based on the light’s status, I get a “No conditions available for this device” message in the app. Should a bulb report its status?
I must be approaching this the wrong way… Thanks in advance for pointing this newb in the right direction!
