<summary>Toggle multiple Adaptive Lighting switches to "sleep mode" using an <code>input_boolean.sleep_mode</code>.</summary>

```yaml
- alias: "Adaptive lighting: toggle 'sleep mode'"
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.sleep_mode
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start  # in case the states aren't properly restored
  variables:
    sleep_mode: "{{ states('input_boolean.sleep_mode') }}"
  action:
    service: "switch.turn_{{ sleep_mode }}"
    entity_id:
      - switch.adaptive_lighting_sleep_mode_living_room
      - switch.adaptive_lighting_sleep_mode_bedroom
```

Set your sunrise and sunset time based on your alarm. The below script sets sunset_time exactly 12 hours after the custom sunrise time.

```yaml
iphone_carly_wakeup:
  alias: iPhone Carly Wakeup
  sequence:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.carly_iphone_wakeup
      state: "off"

        entity_id: input_datetime.carly_iphone_wakeup
      data:
        time: '{{ now().strftime("%H:%M:%S") }}'
    - service: input_boolean.turn_on
      target:
        entity_id: input_boolean.carly_iphone_wakeup
    - repeat:
        count: >
          {{ (states.switch
