Blocks that begin with `- alias` are entries for `automations.yaml`. Blocks with a top-level `script:` or `adaptive_lighting:` key are complete `configuration.yaml` examples. If your configuration uses `script: !include scripts.yaml`, omit that outer key and place its contents in `scripts.yaml`.
Four examples also have blueprints with selectors, so you can configure them without editing YAML:
| Blueprint | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| [Sleep mode](https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting/blob/main/blueprints/automation/sleep_mode.yaml) | Synchronize several profiles with one sleep-mode helper. |
| [Minimum brightness](https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting/blob/main/blueprints/automation/turn_off_at_minimum.yaml) | Turn one light off when its target crosses down to the minimum. |
| [Schedule profile](https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting/blob/main/blueprints/automation/schedule_profile.yaml) | Apply brightness and color temperature from Schedule helper blocks. |
| [Daylight limit](https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting/blob/main/blueprints/automation/daylight_limit.yaml) | Lower maximum brightness in strong daylight. |
Copy a blueprint's link into **Settings → Automations & scenes → Blueprints → Import Blueprint**, then create an automation from it. Read the matching example below for setup and behavior. Each blueprint is tested through Home Assistant alongside its YAML example. The built-in manual-control timeout needs no automation; the scripts below remain useful as actions in your own automations.
`change_switch_settings` updates a profile while its main switch is off, but lights are adapted only while that switch is on. It preserves manual-control flags, so manually controlled lights remain paused.

Also available as a [blueprint](https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting/blob/main/blueprints/automation/daylight_limit.yaml). Select the profile and sensor, then set the lux thresholds and brightness limits. The high lux threshold must exceed the low threshold; the blueprint does nothing if they are reversed or equal.
Keep a low configured `min_brightness` for late night and let an automation lower `max_brightness` while the room has ample daylight. Use a sensor that is not significantly affected by the controlled lights to avoid a feedback loop.
