I run Home Assistant with Zigbee devices for automatic lighting at home:
- switch on when I get home and sun is set
- switch on when I'm home and the sun sets
- switch on in the morning, full brightness, coldest color to help waking up (really helps me a lot and is not as stressful as an alarm clock)
- automatically turn light off when I (my smartphone) leave home (not visible in the WLAN for 10 minutes)
Will look into more automations there. Perhaps something about turning the heat up in the bathroom in the morning when the windows are closed (there are sensors for that).
I ran NodeRed on a Raspberry Pi too for some time, but I found that helped me only little. Mainly did logfile analysis through that but did not look into other use cases for me.
For work I've got the de-facto standard for the printing industry, I'm doing everything possible with that.
- mnbbrown 7y agoInterested why you use the coldest colour for waking up? I do the same, but use a sunrise simulation instead that goes from warm to cold.
- martin_a 7y agoHm, maybe it's self inflicted torture. I just feel uncomfortable with the blueish light and will get up quickly to leave that behind me. Maybe I will give your sunrise simulation a try, might work just as well, not sure.
- sheepybloke 7y agoCold light helps you wake up in the morning, since it's more stimulating. That being said, it shouldn't be harsh like midday light; closer to an in between. I've heard it described as more of a green light than blue.
