Fellow HA enthusiast here high fives
I’ve been upgrading my adaptive lighting over the past few days so this is neat timing. I’m taking quite a different approach though. While I do have a script that can be called to set a light to the “right” value (based on a global ideal brightness and kelvin values calculated elsewhere plus params for multiplier and offset) I call that for each light or group from individual room handler automations.
The reason is that every room is different. Besides the obvious off or presence states, what is the brightness of the room? Are the curtains open? Is the TV playing? Is it late at night? Is the vacuum in this room? Do we have guests? The answers are all unique to the room.
So each room handler can figure those things out and call the light set script with parameters that offset the brightness, and in some cases like an interval, nudge the current brightness towards the ideal without fully overriding what someone might have set manually.
Fun stuff :)
