What's Changed

  • Media player modes now check for lux constrains and conditions as they are considered part of the normal day to day automation.

Due to lack of sun during winter here in Norway I missed this one in testing the bigger rewrite. Now it is finally re-implemented.

Added a pass state

What's Changed

  • Added state pass : Lights that runs a program, like the 'sunrise' effect in Philips Hue restarts the program every time it receives an command. With this state Lightwand will set light_data with the turn on command, but Lightwand will not send a new command if the light is on.
  • If motionlight is configured with automation it updates lights with light_data on given times if motion is active. With this update that automation will not run if mode is night* or off*.
  • Minor fixes.

What's Changed

  • Fixes a bug that was introduced late in development in 1.4.0 to motionlight when using Adaptive Lighting.

Release Notes for Lightwand

  • Compatibility Update:
    Fixed OutLuxMQTT_2 and RoomLuxMQTT to ensure compatibility with Zigbee2MQTT v2.0.0.

  • Improved Logic:

    • Rewritten underlying logic for better configurability and ease of use when setting up lights.
    • The default state for all automations and modes is now none, which activates if conditions are met. The turn_on state is no longer required to turn lights on.
  • Simplified Configuration:

    • No need to define a state when:
      • Using offset.
      • Turning lights on.
    • Adjusting light modes on motion detection now dims the brightness if the new mode specifies a lower brightness level.
  • New Feature: Adaptive Motion Control:

    • Added support for noMotion: True in modes to prevent motion events from activating motion lighting. This is particularly useful when integrating with Adaptive Lighting.
    • Adaptive light brightness comparisons now convert max brightness percentages to better align with 0-255 brightness scales.

Updates and bugfix on Adaptive Lighting

Added option to use 'noMotion: True' in mode to prevent motion to activate when that mode is active.

Improvements to the changes between mode and motion when using Adaptive Lighting to set brightness and color temp.

v.1.3.7 introduced a Breaking Change when configuring max and min setting to be configured with 'max_brightness_pct' and 'min_brightness_pct' to better differentiate that they are in percent.

A wiki page has been added with documentation for configuring the use of Adaptive Lighting with Lightwand.

What's Changed

  • Adaptive lighting max and min setting is now 'max_brightness_pct' and 'min_brightness_pct' to better differentiate that they are in percent as suggested by @pointlevel
  • Setting mode with higher brightness than motion should now work

A workaround for issue #16

Check issue for documentation on how to avoid brightness turning down when motion.

Define Adaptive Lighting for light instead of room

You can now define adaptive lighting for each light in addition to room, if you want to use multiple Adaptive lighting settings in your room.

  # The swiches can be configured in the room
  adaptive_switch: switch.adaptive_lighting_yourName
  adaptive_sleep_mode: switch.adaptive_lighting_sleep_mode_yourName
  # Or in lights
    - lights:
      - light.yourLight
      adaptive_switch: switch.adaptive_lighting_yourName
      adaptive_sleep_mode: switch.adaptive_lighting_sleep_mode_yourName

Fixed the bug where max and min brightness was not set in mode.

Updating max and min brightness to adaptive lighting from app

What's Changed

This is a continuation of the release to use Adaptive Lighting custom component to control brightness and color temp with support to set the 'max_brightness' and 'min_brightness' from automation, motion and modes.

If max_brightness is not defined with state adaptive the app will set values back to initial startup values as you configured in Adaptive Lighting. In addition to max_brightness you can define min_brightness. The app will not react to min_brightness if not max_brightness is also configured. Typical use case is to differentiate light when motion is detected, and also keep a dimmed down light in rooms that are not occupied, or dim further down with modes activated when TV/media player is turned on.

There is no need to configure Adaptive Lighting with 'detect_non_ha_changes' or 'take_over_control' when you set it up, if you only use Lightwand and Adaptive Lighting as automations for light. Lightwand will set manual control with the provided "Adaptive Lighting" switch that you'll need to define in your room with if a state or mode does not use Adaptive lighting.

  adaptive_switch: switch.adaptive_lighting_yourName

The normal 'automations' is a list. To include max and min brightness it looks like this:

      automations:
      - state: adaptive
        max_brightness: 60
        min_brightness: 10

To use when motion configure with:

      motionlights:
        state: adaptive
        max_brightness: 80
        min_brightness: 30

To use in mode configure with:

      light_modes:
        - mode: your_mode
          state: adaptive
          max_brightness: 100
          min_brightness: 1

Automatic setting of Adaptive Lighting's "Sleep Mode" is now also implemented. All you need to do is define the switch in room with:

  adaptive_sleep_mode: switch.adaptive_lighting_sleep_mode_yourName

The switch will then be activated when night mode is called and keep light at a minimum as configured in Adaptive light, instead of turning it off. This applies to both 'night' and 'night_' + appName.

I do not use Adaptive Lighting actively so please report any unwanted behaviour.

Support for Adaptive Lighting Custom Component

What's Changed

This release starts the support to use Adaptive Lighting custom component to control your brightness and color control for automation, motion or mode with setting state to 'adaptive'.

There is no need to configure Adaptive Lighting with 'detect_non_ha_changes' when you set it up. Lightwand will set manual control in the provided switch "Adaptive Lighting" that you'll need to define in your room with:

  adaptive_switch: switch.adaptive_lighting_yourName

The normal 'automations' is a list. Minimum configuration is with:

      automations:
      - state: adaptive

To use when motion configure with:

      motionlights:
        state: adaptive

Both 'automations' and 'motionlights' support list with times and states so you can configure Adaptive Lighting only to be active during specific times if needed to.

To use in mode configure with:

      light_modes:
        - mode: your_mode
          state: adaptive

Automatic setting of Adaptive Lighting's "Sleep Mode" is not implemented. If you plan to use this make sure that your automation or mode is set to the adaptive state.

I do not use Adaptive Lighting actively so please report any unwanted behaviour.

Other bugfixes:

  • Zigbee2mqtt version 2.0.0 does no longer support 'illuminance_lux' for illuminance values. This has been updated in the code to support 'illuminance'.
  • Fixed bug where motion was already detected resulting in not turning brightness up when selecting new light mode with higher brightness.
